Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Georgia
Do an estranged for over 30 years husband have any entitlement rights to a wrongful death lawsuit settlement of the wife? He has been in jail @ 25 years and even illegally married again to someone else. Additonally, he is current incarerated. The only surviving child of the decedent was awarded administator of estate.

I strongly recommend that the estate hire an estates and trusts attorney in Georgia to advice you on your specific situation. Just because a spouse is "estranged" or in jail, does not necessarily mean that they lose all of their spousal rights.

He may. This is something that the attorney handling the wrongful death case should have discussed in great detail.
