A will is a binding legal document. If the deceased never bothered to change it, then the law will dictate as the deceased had bequeathed in their will. Of course, the family can and probably will challenge it in court but the law is very clear when it comes to things of this nature.

Without the will to read it's a bit difficult to interpret but I would say if it says "wife" then there is a problem, at least for the former wife. I would find the will invalid if I were the Judge unless she was as close to the next of kin that there is, but that is a Judges decision and is open to his interpretation and ruling.
