Mr. Roach is basically right. The only way she would get an interest is if: 1) the deed to you three does NOT state that you are "joint tenants," those are "magic" words in title law that means if one person dies the others get their share automatically; and 2) he leaves his share to her in a valid will. If the deed is to you three as joint tenants, OR he does not will it to her, she gets nothing.
