Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Massachusetts

Only blood child's entitlement

My wife and her father have not spoken in approx. 15 years. She is the only blood offspring. Parents are divorced. He told her way back when that if she married outside of the ''breed'' she would be cut out of the will. He has substantial assets. I am curious to know what right or claim she may have or be able to make to a will that in all likelyhood does not name her or has explicitly declared that she be given nothing. How does Massachusetts law look at this and does she have a leg to stand on? Thanks.

Re: Only blood child's entitlement

Assuming a validly drafted and executed will that properly excludes her, she is most likely without recourse.
