In California is a husband who left his wife for 26 years entitled upon her death to assets of her estate that were obtained after he left her?

Answer

It would depend upon whether or not the court ruled the couple were still legally married and that the husband's departure did not constitute spousal abandonment.

If the matter ended up in court and was contested by other family members or an "interested party" it would likely result in lengthy and expensive litigation.
