Seidlin surely did comment on the strange will. IMO, Howard actually lost his “will job” when Danny died...BECAUSE it excluded all others.
Great point Saca!
I am not a lawyer - but it seems to me that Anna died INTESTATE.
Dying without a legal will. Distribution is overseen by a probate court. also called in intestacy. opposite of testate.
That would mean any blood relative could make a claim against her estate *per stirpes* or per capita.
Per stirpes is a method for distributing the estate of a deceased individual. Per stirpes (which is Latin for “per branch”) specifies that each branch of the deceased person’s family receives an equal share of the estate, regardless of how many people are in that branch. For example, if A and B are the children of the deceased, but B is also deceased leaving children C, D, E, F and G (the grandchildren of the original person), then A would receive one half of the estate and each of B’s 5 children would receive one-tenth of the estate (essentially, they are dividing B’s half). Per stirpes is different from per capita, because per captia weighs each person equally, rather than each branch equally.
It is the only time in that entire court fiasco I thought Seidlin was normal. He greatly questioned that Will. WHY no one else is .. I can’t understand!
