Former VP candidate Edwards not named in wife's will which leaves all to kids

There are so many ways to avoid names in Wills. For example: insurance policies......

I really could care less if she did or didn't leave anything to her husband. I don't know what the laws are in the state where they live, but many states, you cannot "cut out" the spouse from a will.

Oh well.... I guess this is news worthy.

Yeah this is news?

she didn't leave anything to the guy that left her when she was ill? WOW NEWS FLASH

I don't know many people who leave anything in their wills to ex's (or soon to be ex's) unless it's for the kids

Very true. With a 401K account, you CANNOT exclude your spouse as a beneficiary if you are still married. My ex and I lived apart for a good 15 years before the actual divorce, and if something had happened to me, he would have gotten the money, regardless of my wishes - it's the law. A divorce settled that issue real quick!
