FTCA/1151 Offset

Rate this question


JusticeforLt.Col.Sutton.

Question

I have filed an 1151 Claim.  I have finally found an attorney to represent my FTCA claim.  We are going to submit Form 95 this This attorney informed me that he would need to submit separate Form 95's for myself, my son, and all 5 of my husbands previous children.  

My husband had a total of six children. Five of the children are by his previous wife whom died.  And he and I have a son whom is now 9.  If successful at the FTCA it is my understanding that the laws in TN will mean an award in the FTCA would be divided this way after attorney fees:  1/3 to the surviving spouse, 2/3 divided by 6.  Each child the would receive 1/6 of the remaining 2/3 of monies.  

So with that being said.  If my 1151 claim is successful will the offset amount be the 1/3 that I received or the entire amount of the FTCA award.
