Because you are still married, your husband may have rights to some of the property and assets even if you try to will those items to your children. I strongly encourage you to consult with an estate planning attorney to help you reveiw your assets and draft your will that best accomplishes your objectives.

You need to get a divorce before you can use a will for a single person. Also, I think you should have an attorney handle it for you, especially given your situation. I wrote an article about why you should use an attorney that was featured by the Consumerist, a national consumer advocacy website.

I hope this information helps, and please do not hesitate to contact me for a fee consultation.
