Probably, but I would assume that most spouses have joint tenancy which would exempt much of their property from consideration in estate taxes. For example, a house owned jointly wouldn't factor into the estate, it would just pass directly to the spouse.
No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

Spike's Bitches 41: Thrown together to stand against the forces of darkness
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

The status is NOT quo.
K, thanks. We're just trying to make sure Drew's mom doesn't end up slammed with taxes this year. I'm sure it will be all right.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
I have had my hair very long and fairly short, and I liked both. (Although the practically-shaven thing I did when I was 13 or so was DREADFUL. I looked like Uncle Fester.)
These days I'd be fairly nervous of having it long again, because it's so much thinner than it used to be & (1) I don't think it would look so good, whilst (2) I'd be scared stiff of the extra weight making it more inclined to fall out.
It's weird, the number of men who think short hair on women is appalling. Not just not attractive on that particular woman, but philosophically inadvisable.
Yeah - this isn't weird. It's just oldskool sexism. Signifiers of femininity = things that make you vulnerable. I think his drag-you-off-to-the-cave-by-your-hair comment was fairly honest assessment of the appeal.

That's excellent, thank you. (Megan's link, not oldskool sexism.)

Okay, my ultra-progressive housemate has just admitted that there was a time when he wouldn't have dated a girl with short hair. WTF?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I can send you the name/number of a lawyer in the area. If she can't give you personalized information, she can send you to someone who can. But I don't feel comfortable talking about anything more precise in a public place.

Cass, thanks. They have a lawyer all set, so I think we're okay. I'm just helping Drew sift through a mountain of paperwork, and we started worrying about his mom.

I had waist length hair as a teen when my boyfriend said he would break up with me if I cut it. Of course that resulted in my going with the popular at the time Mia Farrow super short cut. He didn't leave me. But it was a clue that it wasn't going to last forever.
