Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida

Clause in my will

I am a British citizen, residing in

Florida, (ARC). I have a stepson

from my marriage to my 2nd

(American) wife and 2 daughters in

the UK, from my 1st marriage.

My present wife and I have a verbal

agreement that upon her death,

(presuming I pre-deceace her), the

remaining esate will be equally

divided between the 3 children from

the 2 marriages.

In my (new) will, can a clause be

entered which ensures that the 1/3

split, between the 3 children, will be

honoured and that my 2 daughters

still receive their share?

Re: Clause in my will

That is not the way to do it, and your verbal agreement is unenforceable.
