Dying Without a Will in Montana
Married, No Living Children, Living Grandchildren from present marriage only, Situation #3 Example
Example
Survivors are spouse and grandchildren from present marriage.
If you die without a written will, your surviving spouse receives all your assets. Your living grandchildren from a child of your present marriage do not inherit.
Your spouse may also have a right to the elective share,the homestead allowance, exempt property, and the family allowance which is protected from creditors.
If this is not the division you desire, then you need to write a will.
