When my father died in Louisiana, the law required his "estate" to be divided equally among his wife and children. My brothers and I just gave our portion back to our mother since we didn't need it and she did. Unfortunately, not all families are like this.Marilyn Turkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09613157670868692501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-10221381785870430282014-04-23T23:22:57.721-04:002014-04-23T23:22:57.721-04:00Hello Marilyn, my friend.This woman was great. She...Hello Marilyn, my friend.This woman was great. She had courage and strength to fight for what she believed. She really helped the women. I love to read about women like this.Keep up the good work. That was a horrible law where they could just take property away from a widow and family. I also think it's wrong where some states make the wife devide things with the lids. After all it wasn't the kids that helped with the getting whatever property and other belongings they got. It should belong to the wife until she is gone. Just my opinion. I have seen this happen to friends. Thanks again for giving this information about our history.
