Question - Me and my x husband separated 5 years ago and he's mum died last year and he has the?

Question

...  inherentance property from his late mother were not divorce yet . Do I entitle the property as well?

Answer

Well you probably you should not because you said you broke up with him but you should have gone to the funeral.

Answer

Hello Joseph 14. If, it is correct, that  you do not have a divorce, then after 5 years of separation, it would be very unlikely that you would be legally entitled to anything from your ex-mother-in-law's estate.  I think that it also may depend on what the law says where you live. When you and your husband separated, was there a division of your mutually held property?  If there was, that could affect the likelihood of your receiving anything additional.  On balance I think it unlikely that after 5 years you will be entitled to any of your ex-husband's inheritance.  But to be certain, I would suggest that you consult a lawyer or solicitor who knows the law where you live.
I hope this helps,
