Here is the scenario: A man marries a woman whom has 4 children from a previous marriage. Together they have one child.
The man at no time adopts those 4 children. After 40+ years of marriage the man passes away with cancer. The will that they have leaves things to each other should one of them dies first, if they die together , everything is to be divided between the five children. The woman is under constant influence from the 4 children, the child that her and her husband had together just stays out of everything and doesn't even know what is going on about the finances. This child being the only blood related child to the deceased, wonders what kind of rights he/she has to know what is going on. Can he/she be written out of his/her father's will by his/her mother? Can this be legally fought? Does said child have a right to know what is going on with his/her fathers estate? Should this child retain a lawyer? Would it do any good?The mother in question is under the influence of Prozac, dilantin(anti-seizure medicine) and other medications also and the four children have , well, if you will, "ganged up on" the only blood related child of the deceased, he/she has no idea of what's going on. Please help!!!
