Who Inherits from a Married Woman – Husband or Children?

Question

Hello, I have a question regarding inheritance in case of the death of a married woman. If a married woman passes away before her father, will her husband inherit from her or will only her sons and daughters inherit? Thank you for your help.

Answer

The husband will not inherit. Only the sons and daughters will inherit. However, if the deceased married woman had any property in her own name, the husband may inherit from there as a legal heir.
