[SECTION 2-112. DOWER AND CURTESY ABOLISHED. Uniform Probate Cod


[SECTION 2-112. DOWER AND CURTESY ABOLISHED. Uniform Probate Code
The estates of dower and curtesy are abolished.]
Comment
The provisions of this Code replace the common law concepts of dower and curtesy and their statutory counterparts. Those estates provided both a share in intestacy and a protection against disinheritance.
In states that have previously abolished dower and curtesy, or where those estates have never existed, the above section should be omitted.
