Legal Question in Family Law in Arizona

Re: Death of separated spouse

As his spouse you are entitled to share in his estate and if he has no children not common to you you would be entitled to all of his estate under the law of intestate succession if he did not have a will. Your first thought should be whether or not he left any assets that would have any value of significence. If he did, then you might want to apply for appointment as personal representative of his estate. If we can be of service to you please let us know. Thanks, Jon C. Dake

Re: Death of separated spouse

Thank you for your inquiry, and my condolences.

Since you were still legally married at the time of his death, that may entitle you (1) to administer his estate, and (2) to receive all or part of his estate, depending on whether he left a will and whether he has children that are not common with you.

Please call my office for a free initial consultation so we can discuss additional details.

Sincerely,

Monica Donaldson
