Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California

I have been asked to provide my address to the executor of my ex husband's will. He is recently deceased and we were divorced over 40 years ago. We have no property or minor children in common and haven't even seen each other in over 30 years.

What could they need my address for? Is there a form or something that I would be asked to sign stating that I have no claim on the estate. I don't imagine there is much value to the estate. As far as I know he didn't have much when he died.

Should I provide my address? It was requested through my son from that marriage. He has kept in contact loosely with some of the members of that family.

the administrator of a Willis required to notify all people who might inherit anything, including those who might get something only if the Will were invalid. You can always waive your right to inherit something. Why not wait to see what you might inherit. You are not responsible for any of his debts so there is no negative to giving him your contact information.
