Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Mississippi

Re: Inhertance

Thank you for your question. The answer is not as clear as one might think. You must really consult with an attorney to get an accurate answer.

With that said, the children will most likely receive a percentage of the real property -- but there are exceptions that might defeat that inheritance.

Again, please see an attorney in order that he/she can evaluate all of the circumstances.

If I can be of further assistance, please feel free to contact me.

Sincerely,

Kai H. Wessels, Esq.

Re: Inhertance

It will depend upon whether there is a will, or trust, or not. If not, it will go according to the law of intestate succession. "Intestate" means without a will or testamentary plan. In California, the surviving spouse would own her community property interest, if any, and the rest would go to her and the children. If there is one child, it would be 50-50. If two or more, then 1/3 to the spouse and 2/3 to the children.
