More details to this question:
My father made a will. He left everything to his children. He then got remarried but did not change his will. He recently died. Do the children inherit everything or does it change because of his marriage?

Hi there,
The estate will be distributed according to the Will, but your step-mother can file a right of election, which means she will be entitled to $50K or 1/3 of the net estate, whichever is greater.
