My husband and I made wills 2 years prior to our marriage. In those wills we left our entire residuary estate to each other. Both wills are identical in stating that if we do not bequeath anything to our listed children, that the omission is intentional. We then married and did not renew the wills as we felt that they would still apply in the event of our demise. The house we lived in was owned by him and his ex wife Annette. In the divorce, she quit claimed the house to him and subsequently filed for bankruptcy naming the mortgage in same bankruptcy. Now my husband has unexpectedly passed away and his ex wife has notified me that she feels that their daughter in common is entitled to 50% of the house and ALL of my husbands belongings. How much heartache am I going to suffer in court over this, or does the will take precedence and grant me sole ownership of the residence and my husbands clothing, belongings, etc...

My brother was going through a divorce at the time of his sudden death. No will. He was separated over 2 years , divorce paperwork was in the courts. One son, 20 years old, has hasn't lived with his father for a year. His separated wife has moved on and has been living with someone for 3 years as was my brother, he had been with his girlfriend over a year. I understand that she is entitled to 100% of the estate, which is upside down, under $7000 in assets total and much debt. She seems to think that he was hiding assets and refused to sign a waiver of rights. I believe she was tipped off that his girlfriend's vehicle is under his name and has some sort of vendetta. She has threatened to get a lawyer and is the litigious type. The car is upside down if it needs to be paid off. There are two other vehicles, one paid off van, worth under a thousand dollars that is titled in his name, but it is his girlfriends truck, and my brothers vehicle, which is also still under a loan, but it is not upside down. As a sibling, I am going to file to be personal representative. If I become personal representative, I plan on liquidating the vehicles to put money toward the estate, but also so that they get to their rightful owner. Sell the van to the girlfriend and put the money in the estate, and have her buy the (upside down) car she_'s driving outright. My brother's car I will sell to put money back in the estate. Can she stop me from doing any of this if I am the personal representative? I am filing paperwork that does not include a vehicle exemption. With regard to vehicle exemption, the 2010 law states: Two motor vehicles as defined in s. 316.003(21), which do not, individually as to either such motor vehicle, have a gross vehicle weight in excess of 15,000 pounds, held in the decedents name and regularly used by the decedent or members of the decedents immediate family as their personal motor vehicles. My brothers estranged wife and son did not live with my sister, therefore they did not use these vehicles as their personal vehicles. Is there any way that she can come back to make those vehicles exempt? What is the intent of the law?
