Is the last will made before marriage and the executor so named in the will still effective in the state of Texas and what are the rights of surviving spouse with out a will?

In: Estates [Edit categories]

Answer:

In many jurisdictions, a will made prior to marriage is considered void and the intestate laws will be applied. Typically, if there are no issue from the deceased, the spouse will inherit everything. If there are issue, the estate is split between the spouse and the children.
