This is where you spend a few bucks on that attorney for a review of that will and an opinion on how it affects you.

The questions are:

1) Would the will likely be admitted in New Jersey?

2) Do you stand in your mother's place?


Your stepmother can not be cut out completely (except voluntarily). But there could be quite a difference between what she is entitled to under intestacy and what she would receive by exercising her right to a surviving spouse's elective share.
my mother stated just now that she is worried that this will could somehow be used against me, as it was written before I was born, and that the current wife could say he wished everything to his wife even though my mothers name is listed after the word wife in the will, (im not in the will due to not being born yet) and she could end up getting everything and I would get nothing. do you think this in anyway could be used against me?

any comment on that?
