Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Georgia

Absent a will, there is no inheritance for a daughter-in-law. If she wants to leave you something she must write a will.

Your mother-in-law has to make a will or a trust specifically leaving something to you. You have no right to demand anything from her estate unless you were included as an heir.

However, if you have any children, then if your mother-in-law had a will or trust that was made before your husband died and included him as an heir and, assuming it has not been changed, then in such case your children might be able to inherit the share of their deceased father.

What is your relationship like with your mother-in-law? Did you and your husband have any children? What is their relationship like with their grandmother? That might give you a clue as to whether you and/or the children will be included.
