Re: wills
Yes, your mother-in-law may be entitled to a portion of her husband's estate as a pretermitted spouse. It also sounds like there are legal grounds upon which to contest the changes to your father-in-law's will.
You should consult with a qualified attorney in trust/estate litigation.
Please call my office if you would like to schedule a free consultation.
