Absolutely, unless the coop shares are already owned jointly with her children.
q: can her wish that i can still live in her co-op and pay the maintenance bills until i die be added to her "will" ?
A. Yes. However, if possible, I would add the language to the cooperative shares instead. A will may be contested. It would be very difficult to contest your wife's added language to the shares.
