Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Illinois
No Will
Remarried, X is also. Have will from 1st. marriage, none for present. Home is in my name only. ? Will my present husband get the home in the event of my death? what about grown children? Do I need a will to insure husband keeps home? Home is not paid for. Is will from first marriage still legal?
Thank you.

Re: No Will
Your previous will is still effective *except* that the bequest to your husband has been revoked by divorce. Depending on the wording either everything goes to your kids [more likely] or you're intestate.
Your present husband receives nothing.
I suggest you need a new will. A new marriage is a good time to review your situation.
