Herbach v. Herbach

583 N.W.2d 541 (1998)

Facts

Walter wrote his will and left $50,000 to Eileen as a friend. They were married afterward and were married at the time of Walter's death. Walter's son Barry opposed the status of Eileen getting pretermitted wife status as she was already mentioned on the will. The probate court ruled that she was entitled to that status as she was not mentioned in the will as Walter's wife. Barry appealed.
