Divorce Did Not Disinherit Step-Grandchildren

Testamentary gifts to step-grandchildren that were conditioned upon their grandmother (the decedent’s wife) not electing against his will and not recovering assets “in our divorce after my death” did not disinherit the step-grandchildren when a final decree of divorce (and equitable division of marital assets) was entered before death because the scrivener of the will testified that it was what the testator intended. In re: Estate of Thomas P. Cassidy, Deceased, 2023 PA Super 101, ___ A.3d. ___ (6/9/2023), rev’g 12 Fid.Rep.3d 423 (Bucks O.C. 2022).
