predeceased spouse

Read a random definition: FRM

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.

I wish that wearing a mask when sick stuck around as an okay thing like it is in the rest of the world, not all of us have enough sick days to be ditching work.

One manager came in sick wearing a mask, got roasted and stopped wearing it that day. The entire office has been cycling sickness for two weeks now. It may not be super effective but it may help in slowing the spread during meetings when we have to be so close
