Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Indiana
If there is a surviving spouse in an estate and there is a will which divides property between wife and 2 children, what constitutes personal property? Aren't household items exempt since it was a joint household and the wife is till living?

EVERYTHING, except the house and land, are personalty. This includes household items which are not physically attached to the house (such as light fixtures). So, the household items are NOT exempt.
