Question

What is important to know about disinheriting your spouse?

Answer 1

As a dedicated Saratoga Divorce Lawyer, I am often asked by clients how to disinherit their spouse so they can protect their assets.

When one spouse tries to disinherit the other from their assets and estate, the New York State EPTL says, essentially, “You can’t do that.”
The other spouse will obtain their elective share from probate and non-probate assets – even if those assets were bequeathed to someone else.
