Definition of inchoate. : being only partly in existence or operation : incipient; especially : imperfectly formed or formulated : formless, incoherent misty, inchoate suspicions that all is not well with the nation â J. M. Perry.
Prior to the death of the husband, the interest of the wife is called an inchoate right of dower, in the sense that it is a claim that is not a present interest but one that might ripen into a legally enforceable right if not prohibited or divested. It is frequently stated that an inchoate right of dower is a mere expectancy and not an estate. The law governing dower rights is the law in existence at the time of the husband's death and not the law existing at the time of the marriage.
