Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Minnesota
On a second marriage of 25 years, are the deceased adult stepchildren entitled to any assets held jointly or not jointly when there is no will?
The deceased came into the marriage with little assets whereas the survivor purchased two homes (presumedly jointly) and has considerable non-joint liquid assets prior to the marriage.

This isn�t very clear. Step-children would not inherit if there is no will. If the property is joint between the two spouses, it would automatically go to the surviving spouse.
