[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would see a lawyer.  Do not take a penny until it is clear that there is no active or constructive trust due to his first wife, her estate if she is deceased, or to her children, which could easily be the case based on provisions made in the decree or debts due and owing from the settlement.

I would hold off on seeing a lawyer, especially since the money was left to your children and can not be accessed until they are 21. If they actually contest the will, then you can lawyer up. But, it is possible that part of his estate can not be left to your mother or to your children per his divorce decree. It is also possible that his adult children could argue undue influence from your mother or someone else (doesn't seem like his kids have any other arguments for contesting the will).

Does he have natural grandchildren through his biological children. It is interesting to me that he skipped you and set up a trust for your children.[/quote]

This is terrible advice.  Sitting on your rights, so to speak, or not even understanding them fully, is a bad idea.[/quote]
