Answer:
If the Wills were mutual Wills or there Spouse an agreement that how they would leave property that could also be relevant.
The spouse also has rights to elect to take against a Will in various ways so it could be that she would have receive the property anyway.
Regardless, there are too many unknown facts to state anything in law that will answer this. You need to talk to a local attorney.
