You need to consult with an attorney in your particular jurisdiction who can review your situation and determine the provisions under the law in your jurisdiction. There is no single law for all of Australia.

Generally, a will made before the birth of additional children does not disinherit them. They would be provided with a share of the estate under the laws of intestacy since the law considers them to be forgotten, not intentionally left out. Laws vary in different jurisdictions. If the will is not allowed by the court, the surviving spouse may take up to the first $500,000 of the estate, depending on the jurisdiction, unless there are children of the decedent who are not her children. In other jurisdictions the surviving spouse shares the estate with any children of the decedent.

This is general information only and may be modified by someone who is familiar with the probate laws of Australia.
