There is a statutory scheme to deal with these situations. The spouse gets a certain amount or percentage and your children geta portion if the statutory minimum spouse share is exceeded. I'm unsure what you mean by the phrase "trust fund," and suggest that sitting down with an attorney to prepare an appropriate will and supporting documents would help to resolve your concerns in an effective fashion.
