That money should go into a trust fund for the children until they become a certain age they cannot touch it so it can then be there for their college needs or deposit on a house if they choose. You’ll likely have to get a lawyer to get it to happen.
If I’m not mistaken the way the probate should work if he died without a will it goes to his children… this is what happened with my grandmother passed.
CONTEST IT. They have more of a right to it than she does

Contest that. Your kids have every right to his estate. Your kids are next of kin and your kids grandmother should be ashamed of herself.

if he died without a will, its called he passed intestate…his direct next of kin, his kids, are the heirs of his estate, but, it would be put into a trust with an executor of the estate…let his mother contest…she aint got no case or a pot to piss in for probate…def. get a lawyer dont let granma get her greedy hands on your kids rightful inheritance!! im actually going thru this as we speak for my daughter
Get a lawyer. Go to legal services. You need to probate an estate that big or if it has real property. You can contest, if there was no will or even if there was and he didn’t Include the kids. Because you are divorced his mom may have the authority to handle the estate, but that does not mean she can override the kids rights in accordance with the law. Yes lawyers are expensive. Call the state bar association and see if they have lawyers that do probate at a sliding scale. Even if you don’t get a lawyer, contest as soon as possible. Most states do not let parents inherit if there are heirs, which may be why she doesn’t want you to contest. be sure to meet the deadline, get birth certificates support orders, whatever you have that shows he is the father., I’m sure his mom is hurting and she may not be being vindictive as much as she doesn’t know what the law is.
Please get an attorney

1st look up your states succession laws, generally its goes to the current spouse and their children. 2nd get an estate attorney. Ive been through this 3 times with 3 different relatives in different states. They estate attorney will get a % for their services but not all of it like I saw someone else post.

Talk to a lawyer and either contest it or offer to split it. His children deserve to have access to the estate, especially when they are old enough to go to college.
Contest it for the sake of your children.
If he was paying child support, you are also able to continue to draw on that estate for that support ( obviously every state handles it differently).

Does it automatically make the kids next of kin though even though his mother is still alive 
I’ve never dealt with something like this before
Likely you want to establish an educational trust for the kids and then get a Guardian Ad Litem / trustee appointed by the court to represent your kids, without a will it is intestate, so get ready for a fight but your kids should prevail
Hey Contest it you have 3 kids that was their father they deserve it and yes it would help their Collage I wish u luck prayers for y’all

So, we just kinda recently went through this… my parents weren’t legally married. They divorced in the 80s and lived together every since. My dad however, had a will that said everything goes to our mother. However, if he didn’t have a will, according to our lawyer… the estate would go to me and my brother as we are his heirs and his first next of kin. We have no issues of anything going to her. Were there a few family members asking? Yep… did they ask or say it to us personally? No.
Me and my brother are grown. However, your kids are not. Check with a lawyer… most give free consultations. Please think of your children. With the way prices are rising, they’re going to need a headstart. His children are top concern and priority. For grandma to ask you to not contest it is sounding like she has plans for those funds. The kids are going to need it. Best of luck

She may be administrator but the estate is theirs. The question is do you trust her to care for it for them. Definitely you should become a party to the case on their behalf so that you can be informed. You are their guardian.

This applies. He died intestate (if he did not have a will). His children are his heirs. They are in line for his estate. Not his mom. If his children were deceased then it would go to their children. This is what happened when my grandmother passed as her children (my father and aunt, had passed before her. So My sisters and our cousin became the heirs of her estate.) I was the administrator and it went through probate. Took about 1.5 years. House was sold, bills were paid and funds were distributed. Final accounting was done. I have no idea what his mom is taking to you about. Start by getting a probate attorney and they get paid from the estate so you don’t need any funds up front.
