Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Washington

Kinship

My sister died a couple of years ago and last week her husband, my brother-in-law died. I cannot find any record of a will at this point and I am wondering if my ''in-law'' relationship qualifies me to claim a portion of the estate during probate. There are four other surviving ''in-law'' siblings as well.

Re: Kinship

I think your only shot is if there are no surviving blood relatives.

Remember, I'm an attorney but I'm not YOUR attorney. Only a thorough review of your situation by a competent attorney after an attorney-client relationship has been established will result in an informed legal opinion.
