Even though you have a will, there is still a possibility that your surviving spouse
may renounce it and instead ask the court if they can take their share of the inheritance because it is also supported by the law. You must state in your will how you want your property to be exactly distributed and who will be the only legal heir/s so that usurping of control may be avoided. This can ensure that your children get their fair share of the inheritance. It is also better to learn and know more about your state's laws to avoid miscommunication.
