Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Ohio

The answer to your question depends on a number of factors. If your father-in-law did not have a will then you would not have a right to any inheritance but your husband's children, if any, might have a right to an inheritance if there was no surviving spouse or if the surviving spouse was not the mother of all of your father-in-laws children.

If your father-in-law died with a will, it is possible that he might have provided for you in his will. In my experience it is not usual to provide for in-laws in wills but it does occurr. Again your children may have a right to your husband's inheritance.

You should speak with a probate attorney who can review all the facts of the situation and give you a definitive answer.
