If there is no name of a successor to the asset in either type of holdings or in the event of a death, if there is no will, then the ex could contest the state for possession. Otherwise, the asset will go to the successor (which could be either the current wife or his children or some other person). Best thing would be to seek legal advice because some states have slightly different laws on this.

If the man and the ex-wife were married for a certain amount of time (in Tennessee it's 7 yrs.) then the ex-wife is entitled to draw Social Security from him. I don't know if this is a federal law or if it varies state to state. Check with your local Social Security Office. I hope this helps.

Depending on how long you were married. Example: If you were married for over 25 years it used to be the law that you would get a portion of his SSI and or pension (depending on the company). If you were married for a number of years I would contact the Social Security Office in your area and ask them this question or call the 800 number. If he left you something in the will then you are entitled what ever he left you. If you have children with him under the age of 18 they are entitled to SSI from the government. Anything else that would have been determined in your divorce.

The ex wife is entitled to some of the mans social security if they were married for a certain number of years ( I believe it is 10) and has not remarried at the time of the ex spouses death.

Often the exwife is entitled to SS benefits if they have children. I have heard of cases where the ex wife got the benefits when their were no kids involved. Leaving the current wife completely out of the picture.
Check with your lawyer or maybe Suze will post to this.

It depends on what is stated in his current Will. If he didn't make a Will then the current wife gets everything and the ex-wife can contest it in court.

Generally speaking, the ex-wife would be entitled to nothing. Of course, if the will includes the ex-wife, then that makes all the difference. If there IS no will, then, again, the ex-wife is entitled to nothing.

That depends on the will and how long they were married. Some women are entitled to a portion of the man's retirement and retirement funds. Call a lawyer as you can ask one question free from most of them. But check the lastest will and see what it says. Laws are different in different states. Have a blessed week

Depends upon the will. If the ex is mentioned in the will she will get whatever it says. If she is not mentioned she probably won't get squat, unless there is some kind of divorce or child support decree through which the ex can collect from the estate.
