Re: Can a will be broke?
The simple answer is -- probably not.
Without reviewing the Will there is no way to speak to its validity, but, assuming it was drawn up by an attorney, made while your sister-in-law was of sound mind, and was properly executed, it should stand. The problem is there is nothing to stop the niece from contesting it, anyway.
