Would a will be valid if you were married for 8 years and not left anything in the will?Everything left to a son from a previous marriage of a deceas

My condolences on your loss. If your husband's principal residence was in Georgia at the time of his death, then yes, it would be perfectly permissible and valid for him to make a Will which left you nothing. Whether his actual Will is valid is a different question. If you have any question as to whether it is really his Will, whether he was mentally competent to make the Will at the time the purported Will was made, whether someone was exercising undue influence over him, or otherwise, then you should consult an experienced estate attorney as soon as possible. You should also look into the possibility of making a claim for year's support. In Georgia, a surviving spouse is entitled to seek an award of "year's support" from the probate estate of a deceased spouse. There is not a set share or amount to which you would be entitled, and your stepchildren would be able to challenge your request. But, this may be the only way for you to receive assets other than any which may have come to you under a beneficiary designation or right of survivorship. You should not wait any longer to pursue your rights, however. If your husband died in December 2013, the clock is ticking, and delay may either effectively or legal cost you any rights you do have. When looking for an attorney, you should try to consult one with dispute resolution or litigation in the estate and trust arena as significant practice areas. And be warned: if the stepchildren want to challenge, it can become very expensive very quickly. But you do have some rights, even if the Will does turn out to be valid. Best wishes to you.
