Question

I am adult who's parents are getting a divorce. After the divorce they will rearrange their wills. If my father dies before the divorce is finished, does my mother get 100% of jointly owned property even though they are in the process of the divorce? If they have been legally separated, how does that affect? Would I as a potential heir having any standing in legally continuing the divorce on the grounds that it would affect what I inherit?



Answer

Yes, your mother could get 100% unless your father changes his will or if their property is owned in Joint Tenancy and he terminates the Joint Tenancy. No, you don't have standing.
