Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Canada

last will and testiment

A friend of mine's father just passed away. He has a last will and testiment. He remarried a few years ago to another woman and there is no mention of her in the will. Is she entitled to any of his estate. She also came into the marrage with nothing.
