Dear Sir / Madam,

If your father's re-marriage is legally recognized in the UK, his second wife may succeed with getting only a 1/3rd portion of your father's estate, with the major 2/3rd being awarded to you and your sister. In no way whatsoever will your step mother benefit from the whole estate.
