Estate Wills: If a man dies I am wondering how it usually
works? They have been married
10+ years.
Is it spilt up typically, or
how does it become
distributed?
Thanks
If I undersand it right, the
stepmother will get evrything
and then when she dies it will
be distributed to his kids....
But what if she spends it all
and the kids end up getting
nothing?
Does that happen?

If there is a will it can not violate state law. For example if the father said it all goes to the kids, in most states that is a violation of state law where half must go to the wife. If there is no will, then the state law controls. If the children are adults, then the wife gets everything. If the wife did not adopt the kids, then they are not her next of kin and they get nothing when she passes away. The house and money would go to her next of kin, whoever they are, sisters, brothers, uncles, etc. If the wife did adopt the kids then they are considered the next of kin and her estate would go equally divided to the kids when she passes away. If the children are minors, half goes to the wife and half gets divided up for the kids. Her half would be covered like above. |

As long as you are aware of the laws in your state (you can find them online) as to how many witnesses need to sign the will, etc., self-prepared wills are fine. If the will is prepared properly, they will be accepted just like a lawyer prepared will. |
