Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California
Husband and wife have premarital agreement. Wife gets account A if husband passes. Account A went out of business and money was rolled over to account B. They never changed A to B in prenup. Husband does pass. Daughter of husband had POA and took over account B.
What rights does wife have for getting account B?
I believe the daughter took the account against the Fathers wishes. She wanted the money.

Wife must prove that intent in pre-nup. was for her to get something of value and also, if possible, that something of value passed into B from A. You do not spell out when and how daughter changed name on B, but normally conflict of interest for her to do so; I would need to know all the facts as to the transfer.
