My father recently died and he has left everything in his will to his wife. The will stated that in the event of his wife dying prior to him, the estate would be split 50% to me and 50% between her children. The will was prepared in the last year after the diagnosis of his illness. I am confident my step-mother's will states virtually the same thing.
I live a reasonably comfortable life and do not have a great need right now. I am happy for my stepmum to retain the house and her lifestyle, but am also very confident that she will change her will to exclude me and probably also re-marry.
Is it possible to obtain a copy of her will now? Is it possible to obtain some sort of order that her will cannot be changed as it is obviously the wishes of my father that 50% of his estate eventually be passed down to me?
