Re: Estate law
Under Utah law, the mother would receive the first $50,000 of the father's estate, and one-half of the remainder, with the two sons from the father's first marriage receiving the other half of the father's estate. The daughter would receive all of her mother's estate. This scenario would change if any of the children had been adopted by the other spouse.
