Just an aside - and of course im not a lawyer - but is she really wants to leave "everything" to your family ... she can do so in "life". I think she can give everything to a "trust" right now and make you the executor, pre-death. This rules out any chance of the "family" fighting it. My terminology is a bit off and without spending too much time I really do not have right now (I shouldnt be checking community emails anyway) this is what I remember from looking it up a while ago when I was researching living trusts, etc.
In fact they are tax shelters and your kids may save a lot of estate taxes if she thinks about doing things that way instead. YMMV and just FYI, but maybe something to look into. Someone else here might have an inkling of what I am talking about ...
