If the Deceased Was Married at the Time of Death The court will distribute the deceaseds separate property as follows: If the deceased had no children, grandchildren, parents, siblings, nieces, or nephews, the surviving spouse will take all of the deceaseds separate probate assets.
In Maryland, a valid will must be (1) in writing, (2) signed, and (3) attested and signed by two credible witnesses. It may be handwritten or typed and any two adults can be witnesses. A will does not require a notary, though a notary can be a witness. Electronic, oral, and video wills are not valid in Maryland.
Maryland Code does not include stepchildren in the line of intestacy unless there are no surviving issues from the decedents parents, grandparents or great grandparents. Only in this case, when there are no surviving blood relatives, would a stepchild be potentially entitled to receive assets from their stepparents.
Last wills for each spouse must be created to work together. The result: the other spouses family can end up being disinherited. In California, if your estate exceeds $166,250, we recommend you have a revocable living trust.
Generally, only spouses, registered domestic partners, and blood relatives inherit under intestate succession laws; unmarried partners, friends, and charities get nothing. If the deceased person was married, the surviving spouse usually gets the largest share.

When you fail to have an estate plan in place, the state of California will decide how your assets will be distributed and it could be in ways you would not be happy with. If you are married, then your marital assets will automatically go to your spouse in the event of your death.
Some couples think that they can have one joint will together, but this is not a sound approach. Spouses need separate wills. Even if the majority of the information in your wills is nearly identical, you still need to each have your own.
