Inheritance Rights

Inheritance rights are an important issue to understand in relation to estate planning and probate matters. When there is no will or a will is determined to be invalid, inheritance rights will be of the utmost importance as the probate court determines how to distribute assets and property. Each state has different rules that apply here and different ways that inheritance rights may affect your particular situation.

Your Right to Inherit

Inheritance rights can be complex. Depending upon the particular situation and the state, there are cases where close relatives of a decedent are able to override a will and enforce their rights to inherit specific property or a certain percentage of assets. However, this will vary depending upon which state you reside in, as well as your particular situation.
