More details to this question:
They wrote a will , that says that her son and I get equally 50% of everything after they die. But what happens if one of them die? If my dad dies first do I still get half of everything? We are in New Jersey

If your dad dies first, his second wife will inherit everything and then she can change her will to leave everything to her son. This can be prevented by putting things into a trust to preserve the assets for you.
