Depending on the state you live in (USA), you may find yourself being a partner with the state.. to claim his estate.
Then again, there's always other relatives, some of whom will claim that your husband owes them money, or promised them some family heirlooms, or that they gave him the downpayment on your house, etc. The fangs are bared after the death of a loved one.
Of course the state is not always greedy, but PROBATE COURT will decide to get a small percentage from people who die without a will.
been there, in 1971.

depends on the laws of your state, but I recommend that a Will be drawn up (the JAG will do this for free for your husband)
In the state that I live in, any person who dies without a will ,but has family (wife/husband, and children) , the spouse receives one half of the estate while the children split the rest. (unless they waive their rights..minor children who inherit will have a trust account for their share).
I would highly advise a Will...for you and your husband both, especially if you have minor children who may need to be cared for if heaven forbid, both of you die at the same time.
Better safe and ready than sorry and confused later on!!
Thank your husband for his service for me.

If I were you I would have a will done, you can go to JAG and they will help you draw one up and have everything in order. Also, always make sure his SGLI is updated at least once a year. Good luck

Get a will made, it eleviates any problems you may encounter and will quicken the process. Not leaving a will can cause stress and anxiety to your surviving spouse.

Yes, if all the assets aren't held jointly. A parent, sibling, or child could demand a share at probate court if there is no will

I would not take a chance, wills are always the best way to go. It will remove any doubt and possible problems.

I think a will is better and you can skip the long term legal procedures and cost less money, too. You should discuss with him for this, if he loves you and care about you.

It would all go to his next-of-kin. That's typically someone's spouse, but doesn't have to be.
