Answer
Hello,

You are asking a question that I cannot answer. There is first, the issue of state law. Then it depends on how the estate was set up. Your best bet would be to speak to an attorney in the state your mom was living in. More specifically, the attorney handling the probate.

I am going through my own little disaster here where because my dad lived in the state of Wisconsin, my black widow step mother gets half of everything. The wills mean nothing. My mom was married to my dad for 55 years and has no meaning. The step mother was married to my dad 17 months and gets half of everything. Wisconsin law sucks!!!!

You need to contact the probate attorney in your mom's situation and find out who gets the money.
