My brother has been divorced from his wife for 20 years, his daughter said that her Mom, my brother's ex wife would be entitled to my Mom's money if anything happened to her. Is this a true statement.

Too many "his daughter and the such, an then YOUR mom ?

If the mans mother dies, the money would go to who is listed on the will, or to the heirs, ( that would be the mother who died current husband and /or all of her legal or adopted children.

The exwife of one of those children ( in your case brothers ex wife, may make a claim agaist the brothers part if he has outstanding child support due. ( attachment or garnishment of those funds to be transferred to the brother.

So withough more info, yes there are ways they could, but not merely inheriting it.

Well she can contest the will, for sure.

If she is the first child, then yes she is entitled to her assets, but may need a lawyer for this.

She can get her mom's social security up to the age of 18, is her mom was to pass.

No. Not true.

The ex-wife of OP's brother would not inherit from the brother unless the brother left her something in his will. If he left no will, the ex wife would have no will to contest, and would get nothing under the laws of intestacy.

On the other hand, a child of the brother, whether she was his first, second, or 100th child, would have a clam to inherit something.

You are absolutely incorrect. Please post your research.
