It will depend partially on the will. If the new spouse is not mentioned, she may be able to elect to take against the will. If there is no law, it will probably be split in half, half going to the spouse and half going to the children. Consult an attorney to protect your rights.
In general, children from a second marriage do not inherit rights or assets from the estate of their parent's previous deceased father. However, laws vary by jurisdiction, so it's important to consult with a legal expert to understand specific rights related to inheritance and estate laws in your region.
State probate laws determine intestate succession. It would be in the best interest of surviving family members to obtain legal advice or representation to protect any claims they may have in connection with the deceased's estate. Most states have a vested interest in protecting minors. As such, most of the intestate succession laws for this sort of situation have a very specific rule. If the parent has remarried, the property will be divided in half. One half will go to the new wife and the other half will be divided between the children of the previous marriage(s).
No. Generally, heirs-at-law must be related by blood or by legal adoption. Your father's second wife is not related to his children by his first wife. If the children were legally adopted by the second wife then the answer is maybe, depending on the laws of intestacy and whether she had a will leaving her property to someone else. You can check the laws of intestacy for your state at the related question link below.
This is an extremely broad question, too broad for an answer that will help you. The question has to specify the type of legal right involved, such as inheritance where a spouse has died with a will or without a will; whether there are children of the marriage or children of the marriage and of a previous marriage or if the legal area involves rights as to joint property as opposed to rights in the estate itself. In adition, since this question was initially placed in "Debt Responsibility" it is possible that the thrust of the question is as to liability for a spouse's debts, rather than rights to inheritance. Another must is identification of the state in which the decedent died. Different states have different laws regarding such rights. Some states may have minor variances from one another, whereas some may have very significant differences. Unless the state involved is known, no one can give a helpful answer. In fact, some generalized answers may do more harm than good if such answers overlook some variation.
