More details to this question:
My wife was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer. Three houses are involved. She asked me to move out and we separated over a year before her death. No legal separation and no filing for divorce. She passed away recently. She had four adult children and I have one by previous marriages. Her will was written (with her daughter) after the diagnosis without any input from me. I was not mentioned in the will. I think I made some mistakes but I did not want to upset my wife who was facing death.

Please accept my condolences on the loss of your wife. As for your question, it sounds like you are an heir to your wife's estate even if you are not a beneficiary under her new Will. Yes, you will likely want to consult an attorney who is experienced with fiduciary litigation and probate matters. You have rights and interests with regard to the estate and the best way to make sure that you protect those is to have an attorney advise you.
