There was only a small amount of money involved at her death ,so we didn't object. Now decendants of a long ago relative through mom will be heirs to a large amount of money. Does her making the will leave the other children out ?out?

Depends also on the wording of the "rich relative's" will. If they specify that it go to her OR her "issue" (if she is no longer living) which means her children, it should not revert to her will for instruction on distribution.
Her estate consisted of what she had when she died. After that, it depends on the wording of the other deceased person's will or the courts to decide.

Depends on the exact wording of the will. If she nominated this one son as her sole heir he will get it all. If on the other hand she only left special instruction for the house to go to him then thats all he is allowed. Any unspecified items in the will will belong to the general estate that should be split betwen all hiers and next of kin unless otherwise specified by the will.

It depends on how it is worded. If it was only for the small amount you would have a claim. But if she said she left everything she owned to one person they would probably get it. I would talk to a lawyer if I was you.

This is definitely a question best left to an attorney. You don't want to get some misinformation on something like this.

if the property is "unknown"-why are you fighting over it?

Her will still stands. You can fight it in court but that wasn't her wishes.
