Absolutely not. A last will is just that.......it is the last wish of the person. The assets belong to her and she is allowed to dispose of them as she chooses. She could leave all of her assets to a charity or anyone she wants, related or not.
I would urge her to be sure to file her will at the local county court of records. That way, if the will came up missing, there would be an official record. Hope this helps.
