Representing a widow who was omitted from her spouse’s will because they met and were marred after the will’s creation. Successfully applied the omitted spouse statue to entitle the widow to an intestate share of the decedent’s estate despite the recognized validity of the will that omitted her. As a result, our client was permitted to retain her marital home, despite that home being a part of decedent’s estate that was devised to other beneficiaries.
