Docket entry

052609 Haley v. Haley 11/03/2006 In elective share litigation pursued by the surviving spouse of a Virginia decedent, the trial court did not err in finding that the spouse failed to strictly comply with the requirements of Code § 64.1-13 by filing a properly acknowledged claim for an elective share of her deceased husband's estate. A subsequent attempt to file a properly acknowledged claim was outside the six-month time period required by the Code and therefore also failed as a matter of law. The judgment of the trial court sustaining a demurrer to her claim is affirmed.
