Estate of Scherer
This case tenders the question whether a complete property settlement entered into after the dissolution of a marriage waives the right of a spouse to property that would pass pursuant to the terms of a will executed before the settlement but after the dissolution. We hold that in these circumstances the settlement waives the testamentary rights under the will by virtue of the express provisions of Probate Code sections 141 and 145.[1]
