Read a random definition: robe

A quick definition of writ of dower:

A writ of dower is a legal document that helps a widow claim her right to a portion of her deceased husband's property. It allows her to receive the remaining part of her dower after a portion of it has already been assigned to someone else.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A writ of dower is a legal document that grants a widow the right to claim a portion of her deceased husband's property. This writ ensures that the widow receives a fair share of the property, even if some of it has already been assigned to someone else.

Example: Let's say John dies, leaving behind a large estate. His wife, Mary, is entitled to a portion of this estate as her dower. However, John's son from a previous marriage has already been assigned a portion of the estate. In this case, Mary can use a writ of dower to claim the remainder of her rightful share.

Explanation: The example illustrates how a writ of dower can be used to protect a widow's right to her deceased husband's property. Even if some of the property has already been assigned to someone else, the widow can use this writ to claim the remainder of her share.
