What can my step-mother do if my father passes without updating his will?
Full Question:
My father has a will but it is not updated to include his present wife. So the estate is to be divided between me and 2 siblings. What could my stepmother do if he doesn't update in time to not include us in the property? Does she have the right to do that? Because he has asked her to go renew the will with him and for some REASON she doesn't want to, so if this action is not took what grounds does she stand on to get it and leave us out of everything?
