[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know it depends on the state, but when I had my will drafted my attorney made clear that I could have left nothing to my kids but could not leave nothing to my husband. husband had the right to get a big chunk.  check with an attorney but your idea to leave everything to the kids may not work out.

I think you can leave "your" stuff to whoever you want, but for most people, assets in the marriage are joint, so they can't just be taken away from the surviving spouse.  I don't think OP has been back, but I don't understand why she would will, or try to will, her $ and physical stuff to her kids.  That would seem to need to automatically go to her husband.

Your sibling don't need chotskies.  I have a lifetime of memories with my sibling, I don't need them to will me a bunch of crap in their will.[/quote]

I thought it was odd to, but then I realized DH is probably stepfather to kids, not their father. At least that's the only way this makes sense to me, anyway. [/quote]
