Hi, I have a question.
My husband mother expired when he was a teenager, his father re-married a widow lady(who had two kids from her first marriage). My father in law owns a house which was built with his his own earnings(when my husband's mother was alive).
My father-in-law verbally promised my husband at the time of his second wedding, that the house will be given to him eventually as he is only son. My father-in-law convinced my husband that his second marriage purely for a partner in his old age. My father-in-law promised his second wife that he will only take care of her kids(like bring up and educate them) to his capacity, and no share in his property. All looked fine and my husband accepted his father's wedding.
My husband's step mom turned smart and take over the control of whole house as well as my father in law emotionally in 10 years. We(me, my husband and son) are almost side-lined from my father-in-law's eye and house.
What I want to know, incase my father-in-law writes a will in favour of his second wife, does my son or husband can challege in court? Or if my father-in-law write a will in favour of my son/husband, does his second wife can challenge that? My husband is the the only biological son of his father. My husband is fine with his step mom living in that house till her death, but he doesnt want the house to go to her first marriage kids.
Some legal pundits, please let us know what we can do?
Thanks
Menaka
