Re: step father gets moms annuity then passes away
The annuity passed to your mother by contract as her separate personal property.
Stepdad gets 1/3 when she died, and that's now his separate property. Her children split the 2/3 remaining from Mom's estate.
He dies, his children get his 1/3 equally.
You can work it through if you take a look at the chart, for descent and distribution without a will, on our website at www.bradie-law.com.
