A: It looks like your question went unnoticed for almost a week under this general heading. You could repost and add "Probate" and "Estate Planning" as categories. There's no guarantee that every question is ultimately picked up here, but you might have better chances of a response from attorneys who are experienced with wills by posting under those headings. Good luck

A: If you leave the real property to your daughter by Will, she will inherit it entirely and the son-in-law will have no interest in the property. She will inherit it as "separate property," not subject to equitable distribution. She should consult counsel as to how to maintain it as separate property.
