My father-in-law passed away. A will was found dated 1995 which divided everything equally between his four children. However, he remarried eight months before passing. (His first wife passed away 12 years ago.) The new wife claims they were re-writing the will and has an unsigned copy which leaves everything to her.
Does the claim (presented in the unsigned new will) of the deceased intent by the new wife have any bearing?
Does re-marrying affect the existing will?
Is the new wife automatically entitled to any or part of his estate?
Is she entitled to his pension.
What action should his children take (either together or separate)?
