The will applies.

The will applies however your mom may contest it based on many reasons. This can tie it up in probate for years depending on how easily you decide to settle or if you even want to settle. Basically you could end up with nothing after lawyers fees

If your dad dies and leaves your mother out of the will she can contest. If he leaves it all to her, that is the norm.....
I think it would be a good idea for them both to have a will and to make sure each is provided for after the death of the other.
It is just common sense to leave it to the surviving spouse , as they were the ones who spent their life with the deceased one, and they must be cared for .... I would hate to imagine after years of marriage that a surviving parent would have to look to their child for complete support and to lose their independence..that would be devastating for them.. make sure they are both able to continue their lives in comfort...

Your Father's will will apply whether or not your Mother has a will.
I think it would be a good idea for your Mother to make a will too.

good question... not sure but I would think that everything would go to your mom.... unless the will said not to... you can call a Lawyer and get free advise..
