From Dow Jones & Company:

The mother’s will states that her home is to be sold and the money divided with half going to her two children and the other half to her late husband’s nieces. However, she sold the house and used the proceeds for her own care, which could affect the distribution of the money. The nieces may have the right to challenge the will, particularly if she was not competent at the time of the house sale. It’s advisable for the mother to update her will to reflect her current wishes, and to avoid any potential legal challenges.
