My mother and her husband had mutual & reciprocal wills each mirroring the intent of the other. Upon one's death the entire estate would pass to the surviving spouse if alive. If not, then the estate would pass on to the children from previous marriages. My mother died and her husband received everything. It was our mother's belief that when he would die his will would reflect her's, thus now having everything pass on the the children since she was already deceased. However, he immediately made a new will and excluded my sister and me and instead leaving everything to his own "blood" kids. This is not my mother's wishes as she would not want us to be disinherited. This is in the state of Indiana. I thought that mutual wills are a binding contract and cannot be altered, but an attorney here said no. Any ideas or thoughts?
