What happens to my inheritance if my mother remarried?

My mother and father wrote a Will stating that I would receive the full inheritance if something were to happen to them. My father since has passed and my mother remarried. Does her getting remarried void the Will and entitle her new husband to the property or is the Will still in effect?
