Re: willed property
You must provide much more information. Was the will probated? Was this his home? Were you on the deed? Did you have a premarital agreement? Are the children minors? Without a premarital agreement, he could not legally leave his home 1/2 to you and 1/2 to his children. If that is what he tried, the home would pass life estate to you and the remainder at your death to his children.
