Stretching to make several points:
1. In Ohio, a spouse can elect to receive 1/3 of the assets passing through the probate estate even if omitted from the will.
2. A former spouse has no statutory rights so Taylor was wise to finalize the divorce prior to his death.
3. I am surprised that someone with Taylor’s reputation for wild behavior was able to organize his affairs to divorce his long missing spouse and prepare a will omitting her, just in case, prior to his death.
4. $10 million is a lot of money for the drummer of the ‘worst band in the world”. Of course, the Kardashians are Exhibit A that talent and net worth are not correlated.
