Re: inheritance
The statutes would make your children your first heirs, if they are alive. If they are minors, it would become a guardianship until they reach 18. If you want something different, have a will done for you or create a trust, or both.

Your minor child who would then need a guardian appointed for his person and property, who could then be your mother.
You can also put whoever you want on the deed with you and also on your money account.
Best get a will and be done with it.
