Darden Restaurants, the parent of Olive Garden and LongHorn Steakhouse, is making a significant move by acquiring Chuy's, a Tex-Mex chain, for $605 million.

Each state can be a little different so the details matter. https://www.omglawfirm.com/arkansas-probate-intestate-succes...Here is the pertinent excerpt:If you don’t have a Will, the default order of descent goes like this: (1) full blood and adopted children of the decedent, subject to any dower, curtesy, and homestead interest of a spouse; (2) if no full blood or adopted children, then everything to a spouse of greater than three years or half of everything plus dower, curtesy, and homestead to a spouse of less than three years and the other half of everything to other heirs (per this table); (3) to the decedent’s parents or surviving siblings; (4) to the decedent’s grandparents or surviving aunts, uncles, cousins, etc.; (5) to the decedent’s great-grandparents or surviving great aunts, great uncles, etc.; (6) if none of those intermediate descendents are alive the remaining half can go to the spouse of less than three years or to a predeceased spouse’s heirs; (7) finally, if none of these apply, all the property escheats to the county where the decedent died.

@Doug McVinua my parents are able to hand deliver the notice.

I watched my parents flip houses since I was little and have always been on job sites or made "pocket money" by doing chores like painting fences or washing kitchen cabinets, which I realize now my parents were putting us to work to build that sweat equity.

In most cases, parental income is calculated in its entirety.

You can still find deals in the outlying counties , you just have to be first and have cash .I am not a fan of Baltimore , my family moved out in 1974 , and I told my parents it was the BEST decision they ever made . 

You need to ask what the income is on it.I know three years ago my buddy's parents' cabin that was 1.7 was bringing in 350k during the boom rents. 

7-Eleven's parent company, Seven & I Holdings, is set to close 444 underperforming stores in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico due to economic pressures on lower- and middle-income consumers.

None of my parents ever owned rentals.

Both my parents passed away a long time ago and I have parted with many sentimental properties because the way that I looked at it, they would want me to take the money and do something better with it for my family.
