Did the father make a new will afterthe prior one? If he remarred, his new wife has rights to a portion of his estate regardless of what his will says. You'll need to give more details to an attorney before you can get specific answers. Was an estate filed for the father and the stepmother appointed as the personal rep? Was step mother's name put on the deed to the property? if so, the deed would "trump' anything in any will.
