California Inheritance Simultaneous Death

Summary

In California, if two spouses die simultaneously, the estate of the spouse with a will is distributed according to the will, while the estate of the spouse without a will follows intestate succession laws. If the wife does not survive the husband by 120 hours, she is considered to have predeceased him, and the estate goes to the husbands children from a previous marriage. For specific case law, consulting a legal database or a lawyer is recommended.
