What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Maryland
In a will does the 30 day survivorship clause only apply to the spouse? For instance if the will states:
"I give all of my personal and household effects, automobiles and other tangible personal property to my husband, if he survives me by at least thirty (30) days. If my husband does not so survive me, I give the same to "my son", per stirpes."
In my case this is part of my grandmother's will. At the time of her death my grandfather had already passed years earlier. My grandmother had one child (my father) who passed away two weeks after her (so less than 30 days). When first reading the clause, to me the word "same" meant she gives the same effects under the same conditions (the 30 days) to her son if her husband had passed. Is this the case or no? Since my father did not survive 30 days does the inheritance go to the next direct beneficiary? Or would it go to my father's wife? (I know this also depends on if my father has a will, but lets say that he doesnt).
