They should retain counsel ASAP to help them with the disclaimer. It is time-sensitive and must be done properly. After disclaimer, the property will pass as if the primary beneficiary had predeceased. Consult with the life insurance company on whether there was a contingent beneficiary or if not what exactly would have happened if father had predeceased. That is very important. But most importantly, the potential disclaimant should retain counsel to advise and prepare the disclaimer timely.

Based on what you have said, it appears that something improper has happened. I would contact an Elder Law attorney to begin with.

In Nevada, without a Will, she is his heir and is entitled to all community property, assets acquired during marriage, including the separation , plus 1/3 all separate property assets he acquired before marrying her. If the assets total under $100,000 she is entitled to all, even if there is a Will Sorry, your father should have made a Will for his 1/2 or gotten a divorce. She is also entitled to his social security and probably his retirement, if any.
