My husband and I made a will in 1990 He passed away. All was left to me but if I die all was left to my three and his one children. He past July 1990. I have nothing my kids take care of me except I maintain an insurance policy for $10,000 for my cremation, etc. If I pass away, can his daughter claim a fourth of this money. The attorney has also passed away that drew this will up. At 80 yrs old, with heart problems I am thinking I need to get my life in order
and thought I need to clear this up. Can I cancel this will, discard it or do I have to make another will? All I have is Social Security and this policy. Is there a certain amount my estate has to be to matter? His daughter's mother recently died and she showed up with a U-Haul upsetting her step father's family. Im not angry with her I just feel this money should go to helping my children to cremate me and pay any outstanding debts I may have. Thank you
