Answer:
The answer will depend on the terms of the will. The mother may choose to divide her estate among her children in any proportion she desires. It is possible that a parent may choose not to leave anything to a child. The terms of a will are a private matter and the will is not a public document until it is filed in court after the death of the will maker.
