Check your state laws, the children, not grandma, should get it. Also call social security if you have not already. They are minors and will be entitled to social security survivors benefits.

Legally your kids will get it, unless he had a Will. You might have to get conservatorship since they are minors

Unfortunately conflict is not something you can control. You do have to fight for their inheritance though. It is their right. They are entitled to it. It needs to be put aside for their future.

Get an attorney for your children tomorrow. Generally spouses and children are Class 1 Beneficiaries. In some states parents are not. Although she’s the mother she needs to realize he left minor children behind and they need to be taken care of still.

If you were bought out and decided that way then no matter what it is for the kids.

Contest it x its strange she telling u not to

I’m sorry but his mother is a Witch for trying to take what is legally not hers. Sounds like a gold digging granny. I would fight. She doesn’t seem like a woman I would want my kids to have a relationship with anyway. She should beourning the loss of her son. Not trying to get his estate. :face_with_symbols_over_mouth:

They are his kids they should get his money not his mother did he not make a will . Surely his kids are next of kin

I don’t know about US law but here in the UK, if there is no will the estate will go into administration. Lawyers will appoint administrators so be careful that his mother doesn’t get appointed. The first consideration should be his dependents who are your children, after that any other person who he supported.

It’s a red flag for me that she’s even filing for it when you’re raising y’all’s children/dependents, much less asking you not to contest it.
That tells me where she puts her son’s children, her own grandkids, on her list of priorities; behind herself. YOU don’t have to (and shouldn’t), though. They’re his children, not her. Best wishes :two_hearts:

Maybe you should talk to the Grandma of your children and ask her what her intentions are. Maybe you and she could share in the expenses of managing this estate; it’s quite expensive. She may not be able to afford to pay for this if a lengthy probate occurs Technically she’s obligated to step in as he is divorced with minor children. Someone has to manage his affairs and she’s his next of kin. She may have asked you not to contest it because if you do, it will get tied up in probate for years.
I would talk to her and offer to share expenses given your concern is for your children.

get a lawyer, Those are his kids, they deserve it more than the mother, Unless he had a will & left it all to her, which I doubt, Also if you live in the USA, you can apply for his SS benefits. I believe they each will get it until they finish high School. Also I believe if you were married to him for more than 10 yrs, you also can get some

Contest it n get a good attorney

First I’d like to express my sympathy to your children, and you as well. Definitely contest, it’s sad that you even have to and if it causes problems with his family, his kids having what is rightfully theirs is not the problem. I personally would put it in a trust that they couldn’t have access to until they were atleast 25 if not 30, that kind of money could turn a good kid bad (seen it happen) also they should be eligible to draw a monthly check on behalf of his death as long as they are attending school till they graduate high school, I’m not sure if it continues if they go to college or not. Definitely something to check into if you haven’t already.

Contest it!! Your kids deserve it!!!

:100: contest! Call a lawyer asap

Get a lawyer, the estate should go into intestate ( that is what it is called with no will)-- his estate should go to next of kin which is his children not the grandmother. But his mother may get a portion of the estate due to no will. It is up to the attorney to defend his children in probate. The grandmother is trying to get you to not contest so she can LEGALLY take the entire estate, which would suggest no heirs. The estate can be set up in trust for the children when they reach a certain age.

Did the father have a will and say who he wanted to have the estate?That should be what is done.

Contest it without a doubt his kids are more entitled than she is. His mother is a nasty piece of work to even think about it

I would not worry at all about causing conflict or drama. This grandmother should be putting her grandkids first but it sounds like she just wants to profit off of her son’s death and take every single thing he had. If conflict arises, she can just be cut off from their lives and your life. She doesn’t sound so great anyways.

Attorney. It should go to kids.

Depends on what state you’re in everything rightfully goes to his kids. If that be the case you’ll have to fill out conservatorship paperwork and when they turn 18 it’ll go directly to your kids

Fight! I didn’t contest when my dad passed and someone we didn’t even know got our family farm

Your children are 100% next of kin and that estate belongs to them. Get a lawyer and make sure that the right thing for his children is followed thru. And tell grandma that she is a terrible person and your children can decide at 18 if they want any sort of relationship with her. Until then, keep those kids away from her…she’s not a real grandma anyway or she wouldn’t even be interfering with their inheritance.
