A: I’m sorry. Your question is very hard to understand. Assuming your mother passed and left a binding, legal Will, the instructions in the Will will be followed in probate as to her children and son in law. You should retain an attorney to help probate the Will, because you do not have the skills to explain the situation to the clerk. If your mother hasn’t died and she wishes to exclude someone from her Will, she should see a lawyer to effectuate that. Fixing it before she dies is MUCH cheaper than after she dies.
