Lee Broderick Dan reportedly amended his will before his death to exclude his second daughter from inheriting any of his fortune (though, it reportedly was due to her problems in school and with drugs, not because of Lee's relationship with her mother).
Dan and Betty had four kids together (Kim, Lee, Daniel, and Rhett), and one of Broderick's issues with her ex-husband was the fact that he got sole custody of their kids after they separated in 1985.
Broderick III disinherited his second-oldest daughter and left his entire estate to his other three children, according to the terms of his will on file in Family Court.

Betty and Dan's children have spoken publicly about their father's death and their relationship with their mother. In 1992, Betty's children Kim and Dan even appeared on Oprah. According to US reports and details emerging from Betty's parole hearings, they remain divided on whether their mother should remain in prison.
The biggest problem for Betty is she isn't remorseful. She believes they deserved to die because how poorly they treated her. Even after decades of therapy, the 74-year-old cannot muster up any feelings of remorse. And chances are, she will never feel any regret for he crime.
Betty Broderick was sentenced to serve 32 years to life in 1991 for killing her ex-husband Dan Broderick and his new wife Linda Kolkena Broderick as they slept in their home.
