Do y'all think it is a good idea for spouses to be involved in succession?


Why would the spouses even care?

Not in Louisiana. My husband handled his Sister's estate. He agreed with his sister to do it and we knew he was not in the will. I had the experience of handling both of my parent's estates, so I helped. Just knowing what to do, how to figure out moneys owed, how to handle stocks ...I knew these things and it made it easier for him and things got done fast. The estate was settled completely in four months, not even going into a different calender/tax year.
