1 Lawyer Answer

A: If I understand the question, your ex-husband has died, and you are asking whether you have the right to inherit any portion of his estate. No, assuming that the divorce was effective before he died, and that he did not provide for you in a will, you have no inheritance rights at all. You would, however, be entitled to the piano if it was awarded to you in the divorce.
