Advice re parents will

[tammy1]

My dad made a will in 2010 where he would leave the house to my mother if he died and if she died it was to be split among their 3 children equally. My dad died in 2018 and this will has not been changed. Does it still apply or does my mother need to make a new will. She has been asking about it. The problem is that her memory not great lately and she being assessed so not sure would that have issues when it comes to making a new will

Did your father's will go through probate?
Is the house in your mother's sole name?
Are there other assets?
Are they in your mother's sole name?
If your mother is of sound mind then she can make a new will if she wants.
Has power of attorney been considered if it's not too late?
What do you mean by "she's being assessed"?

Did your mother also make a will in 2010?

As your mother outlived your father, the house passed to her. If she has not made a will, then it may now be too late to make one - you have to be of sound mind to make a valid will
