Re: rightful heirs
If your wife's mother did not have the capacity to sign the new will then your wife can file a will contest action. There is a short time frame to file a will contest action generally three months from the date that the executor was appointed.
You should seek the advise of an attorney immediately to see if you have grounds to contest.
