Wasmund v. Wasmund
Washington Supreme Court
Cross-appeals from a judgment of the superior court for Pierce county, Clifford, J., entered August 5, 1915, upon findings in favor of the petitioner, adjudging a right of inheritance in the community estate of a deceased person.
1Opinion of the CourtChadwick, J.
Theresa, the wife of Carl Wasmund, died intestate leaving a community estate. The court found, *275and we shall accept its finding, that Max Wasmund was born out of wedlock, prior to the time of the marriage of his mother to Carl Wasmund; and further, that Max was the sole heir of Theresa and entitled to the whole of one-half of the community property, subject to some qualifications not material to this discussion. The controlling question presented upon this appeal is whether an illegitimate child can inherit the community property of a deceased parent to the exclusion of the surviving spouse.
