Haha, imagine trying to take 'maximum advantage' of the marital deduction when you don't even have a will. What a wild concept.

Wait, is this a trick question? I feel like they're trying to get us with the 'EXCEPT' part. This is making my brain hurt.

The marital deduction? Really? That's got to be the answer, it's the most random and obscure option.

Giving property to charity? That's a pretty specific right to lose. I'm gonna guess that's not the exception here.

Hmm, I think the right to have assets pass to heirs is the one they keep. I mean, that's kinda the whole point of not having a will.

I'm pretty sure the right to name the person to settle the estate is the one they don't lose. That's a key part of having a will, right?

That's correct. Without a will, they can still choose who settles the estate.
