Divorce Agreement naming children as beneficiaries of 40% of property at death

My parents were divorced in 1981 and as part of that agreement my father agreed that 40-60% of his assetts would transfer to his two chidren (myself & my sister) upon his death. Since then he has married twice andhas 3 additional children. Will the divorce agreement hold in a court of law?
