So you can see that your
notion that Edward Dale's first wife would have had an intestate
estate is ridiculous.>>
-------------------------------
Consider that:
A) provided he had a first wife and
B) provided that she was an "eventual heiress"

When the time came for her inheritence, because her father or mother or
step-father or step-mother had just died, and IF at that time she herself was
dead intestate, then she would have an intestate inheritence to pass on to her
own children, her husband acting as guardian solely.

Is that not accurate? I admit I don't know too much about these laws.
