The estate must go to probate. This can be compelled.

This estate needs to be probated. The spouse will be entitled. First the mother-in-law died and the three bio children were living. They would be entitled to her estate. When the youngest died, which is after the inheritance of the youngest, his spouse and children would be entitled to the portion that would have been given to the youngest at the time of the mother in law death.
