Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida

My father was married to my mother for 40 years when she passed away. They had aquired many items from around the world as he was military. My father remarried and was married for 23 years before his death. It was understood that all of the belongings of my mother and father would pass to their children. My stepmother willed all of my parents belongings to her children. Is this legal in FL.? We were all under the understanding that what was his before the 2nd marriage was still his and she could use it while still living after his death but that it went to his children and not hers.

Your understanding is incorrect. If everything went to your stepmother, she may will to whomever she choses to.
