English term

year's support

English to French Law/Patents Law (general) Probate
State of Georgia, USA
The petition for year’s support is unique among the petitions that may be filed with the probate court. This petition is usually filed along with another one of the petitions as it does not result in anyone being appointed to represent the estate.
Benefits
The main purpose of this probate petition is to set aside an amount of money from the estate (or property from the estate) for the benefit of minor children or the surviving spouse of the deceased. The amount of money or property set aside is taken from the top of the estate, meaning that the money goes to the family before heirs, creditors, or beneficiaries of the will.

Bourth Oct 31, 2023:
Definition “Year’s support” is a right to inherit property. The entitlement to year’s support accrues upon the death of a spouse or the parent of a minor child. It is the right to inherit a portion of the deceased individual’s estate, regardless what is written in his or her will and (with some exceptions) regardless what debts he or she may have owed during life. https://www.georgiayearssupport.com/an-overview-of-years-sup...

Despite its misleading name, a year's support award is a permanent award of property from a decedent's estate to the decedent's surviving spouse, surviving minor children, or both. The surviving spouse of the decedent can apply for year's support unless he or she has remarried after the decedent's death.
