Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Alabama

I already know the answer to this question, but my husbands' coworker won't believe it until he sees it in black and white. Michael's mother is an only child and stands to inherit a lot from her mother. My husband James says "Grandma can leave her stuff to anyone in the world she wants to, excluding her only child and all grandchildren too, if she wants too." Michael insists that only she can and will inherit her mother's estate and there is nothing anyone can do to change that. Not even a will stating that she wants to leave it to someone else would keep her from it.......

So, just to settle this silly arguement, who's right?

Right, silly argument. Get a life. A will can designate to anyone whom ever the devise wants to inherit.
