Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Michigan
An elderly man is dying of a teminal illness. He's been married several times during his life and is currently on his third wife whom he has been married to for over three years. In his Will, his children are to inherit his money and property. When the children ask about his current wife of over three years getting two-thirds of everything when he dies, the man tells the children that the two-thirds going to the current wife is only from money and property aquired during the marrage. The man and current wife were residents of Illinois but recently have become residents of Michigan. Does this change of residence alter the Will? Concerning, particularly, the two-thirds going to the current wife or to the children.
1 Answer from Attorneys
The will may dictate the venue and jurisdiction. The man may have a misunderstanding as to which assets may go to his current wife. To be clear, the will should be redone to dictate Michigan law and make sure the law of Michigan accomplishes his goals. Please contact me to discuss in more detail at johntatone.com
