maybe but you'd think someone with substantial assets would have a will anyway, esp knowing she had serious health issues
IDK if having no will saves the kids probate or makes it any easier

I get your point completely. Just seems it was intentional so I was trying to make some kind of sense of it. That was the only reason I could think of lol

I read an article this morning where the lawyer who handled her legal matters said he had constantly asked her to do a trust over the years but she never got around to it. It makes me wonder if she just didn't want to deal with thinking about her own mortality.

That makes sense to me. Most lawyers and financial advisors would recommend a trust. Maybe a trust seemed more complicated to her compared to a will so that and also not wanting to face her own mortality may have caused her to procrastinate. Still she was not the average person; she had an attorney who would have set it all up.
