Pennsylvania  |  Wills and Trusts

Its hard to answer the question without actually seeing the Will, because it may depend on the language of the Will. Generally, though, I would expect you to be OK with the current Will.

The language contained in the Will is definitely what's important. Namely, if the Will makes reference to the term "per stirpes" or "issue", it may mean that if your deceased sister had children of her own that her share of your mother's estate would pass to them. If this is not what your mother wants, then the Will might need to be changed. If you would like to discuss this matter with me, please feel free to contact me directley either through our website www.americanwillsandestates.com or by email at attywelling@aol.com. Thanks.
