The plaintiff is a lawful wife and a dependant entitled to provision. The court must use the deceased's net estate valued from the date of death as a benchmark but take the current value at the hearing into account when exercising discretion. Applying those principles to the adjusted valuations and equities of the parties, the court awarded modest periodic maintenance and a one‑off lump sum, and exercised IPFDO powers to order sale of specified sole-owned properties to satisfy the award.
