What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Kentucky

Im just curious, my husbands mother passed away in 2008 her will says that her stuff moved onto her husband and son.

My father in laws will says when he dies all should be passed to his son. Hes getting remarried will my husbands moms will mean nothing then because his father will probably change his will to give everything to his new gold digger.

...her will says that her stuff moved onto her husband and son.
That is far too vague for anybody to offer an opinion.

What did "her stuff" consist of?

Realistically, with a married couple, ownership of untitled personal property is very difficult to sort out. And your husband would have to open probate for your mother's estate to even begin.

Precious Rose,

You are correct in that if father in law designates the "gold digger" in his will, she will have a pretty good shot at his remaining assets. Is that what he wants to do? He has that choice. A good conversation with father in law about estate planning could be appropriate.

First, before mom's will even matters, one first needs to know exactly HOW title was held at the time of her death.

Second: Was mom's will probated?

Precious Rose - please take comfort in the FACT that none of the stuff is (or ever was) yours.
