Estate Will
My father is trying to add his name to my step-mother's will. It has been a couple months since she has died. Can he legally do that?

Re: Estate Will
Your father cannot add his name to his deceased wife's will, but he would be entitled to receive the "family allowance" and other assets if he desires to assert his claim as surviving spouse. He should confer with a lawyer experienced in probate law. Good luck.

No. A deceased person cannot make a will.
