Would or will

Jack died two days ago leaving his father-in-law to wonder how he would pay for his granddaughters' schooling and support his widowed daughter.

Which one is correct? Is it how he would... Or how he will....? When can we use would and when can we use will in the context above? Thank you.

Anonymous Which one is correct? With the death so recent, "would" can be interpreted as "will", so both are possible. CJ
