I have never even heard of cousins or siblings of the decedent contesting the will when it left everything to a long time spouse. I have not only heard of them contesting when a will left everything to a longterm gay partner but I have heard of them winning.

If gay marriages are approved, I am fairly certain that greedy relatives contesting any such will in the case of couples that have been together for decades are going to lose.
Right now America spends $700 billion every year on foreign oil. That's our money going overseas when it could be staying here. We have to stop this. That's why I support the Pickens Plan. Check out the website at www.pickensplan.com. If you like what you see, please join me as a Pickens Plan supporter.
