predeceased spouse

Read a random definition: Retirement Equity Act of 1984

A quick definition of predeceased spouse:

Predeceased spouse: When someone dies, they may leave behind a spouse who is still alive. But if that spouse died before them, they are called a predeceased spouse. In some cases, if the predeceased spouse died less than 15 years before the other spouse and they never remarried, some of the first spouse's things may go to the predeceased spouse's family. However, if the predeceased spouse got divorced or annulled before they died, they are not considered a predeceased spouse unless they got back together with their spouse or remarried them. If someone gave up their rights to their spouse's things, they are also not considered a predeceased spouse.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: "Predeceased spouse" is a term used in probate law to refer to a person who has died before their spouse, who held a valid will.

For example, if John and Jane were married and John died before Jane, he would be considered Jane's predeceased spouse.

According to California Probate Code § 6402.5, if a predeceased spouse died less than 15 years before the decedent and the decedent never remarried, a portion of the decedent's estate will pass to the predeceased spouse's heirs.

For instance, if John died in 2010 and Jane died in 2020, and John's will stated that his estate should go to Jane, but Jane never changed her will after John's death, then a portion of Jane's estate would go to John's heirs.

However, a predeceased spouse does not include a person who had obtained or consented to a divorce or annulment prior to the first spouse's death, unless they later remarried that spouse or lived together as spouses. Additionally, if a spouse later remarried, they would not be considered the predeceased spouse of their ex-spouse. Finally, a person who had validly terminated all claims to marital property rights would also not be considered a predeceased spouse for purposes of probate.

to assess their value to each school

Index numbers seem useful mostly to help you see how soon your app might be reviewed after submitting, since admissions officers are incentivized to make decisions on high performers early. But I’m not actually sure how useful that is in reality lol. It could also give some hints on how much a school weighs gpa vs lsat
12:20
