I am sure this question has been asked and answered in one form or another but I am too exhausted to search any more for it.
My father in law died this morning, we have not yet found the will. He was seperated from his wife over 15 years ago. At the time he paid her a lump sum for spousal support and equalization. She burned through that money fairly quickly and kep coming back for more, he frequently gave her money over the years when she would call crying that she was broke.
My question is, either with or without a will, being as they were never divorced and would not be divorcing for religious reasons, is she able to claim anything on his estate even though it's been over 15 years?
Thank you.
