Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Indiana
Ind State law: If a spouse dies and there isn't a current updated will, does the other spouse automatically inhert, house, car, etc? Or does there need to be a current will?

"Current will" is a meaningless concept: either there is a will or there is not. If no will exists, the spouse gets 50% of the decedent's individual property, generally speaking. Jointly held survivorship property goes to the survivor separate from the spouse's share of the individual property.
