Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Colorado
Disposition of Estate to Survivor
My husband passed away a year before his mother died. In her will, it states that she devised and bequeathed all her estate, property, etc. in equal shares to her children, or their survivors. Would I be considered my husband's ''survivor''? My sister inlaw at the time of her death 3 years ago, told me I was not entitled to anything. Curiosity got the better of me, and I just received a copy of her Will from the state. Thank you.

go see a lawyer. get some advice.
if she is really cheating you, this kind of thing is really horrible, when it happens. i have handled several.
get a lawyer, and find out for sure.
Re: Disposition of Estate to Survivor
I'm not sure what the term 'survivors' means as used in the will. Are you sure that was the exact term used? If your mother-in-law lived in Colorado, you will need to discuss this with a Colorado attorney. However, typically, a spouse of a deceased child would not be included as an heir (normally the deceased person's children would inherit that share).
