Singleton, an eighty-year-old widower, remarried. The next day, he made a will leaving everything to his son, Joey. A week after his marriage, Singleton died. How will his estate be handled?
In a community property state, a spouse is entitled to claim one half of all marital property acquired during the marriage. Obviously this is not a big problem here in that Singleton was only married a week. However, in noncommunity property states, a spouse can claim some percentage of the decedent's probate estate. One of the complaints about a forced share is that it may be unfair in a marriage of short duration. Singleton's bride may get one third to one half of the estate after only being married a week.
