Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Georgia

Re: marriages effect on will

In Georgia a spouse can claim year's support even if disinherited from a will. Your mother in law needs to sit down with an attorney immediately.

Re: marriages effect on will

The answer depends upon the language of her will. In most cases, a marriage revokes the will. An attorney could answer you question after seeing the will. It is quite likely that it is revoked.

Re: marriages effect on will

The effect of the marriage on the will depends upon the language of the will, but there is a good possibility that the will would be revoked because it doesn't address the new spouse, which all wills normally would. Your mother-in-law needs to have a new will drafted immediately.
