The money is yours to deal with, although the living trust could have accomplished the same purpose as the will, and probably faster. I always tell my estate planning clients to not tell their family members about their intentions because of just the thing that's happening with your kids. Make sure that, in the will, you name as executor a person whom you can trust to carry out your intentions, and not a person who would make trouble for the other beneficiaries.
