What can we do if our lawyer is telling us to waive our mother rights to our late brother's estate or get another lawyer?

Estate Planning lawyer at Peters Law, PLLC
Waive her rights or get another lawyer. However, you should probably talk with the other lawyer first to see if what the first lawyer tells you makes sense.

How can I guarantee that all the assets my spouse inherited from our marriage go to our child and not to the new spouse if I die first?

Christine James
Answered by attorney Christine James
Estate Planning lawyer at James Law Group
That is a very difficult thing to guarantee. You definitely need to sit with an estate planning attorney And spell out your wishes and see what can be done. You will either have to make a part of the trust your revocable on your death, give an outright distribution to your child upon your death, or something similar.

Contact a probate lawyer who practices in the county in which your mother died.  This is not a DIY project.
