If I die and did not have a will but my wife had a will would my children get my share of our estate?

Your wife's will has nothing to do with your death - if you don't have a will, you will be subject to the intestacy laws of your state, which will determine who gets what. Now, if you die without a will, your wife will get the lion's share of your estate, so that when she dies, what was yours that became hers becomes part of her estate. If you're at all concerned about what is going to go to your children, call an estate attorney and draft a will.

A mother dies and leaves the two adult sons a beneficiary to the estate. The one son is deceased . Does the deceased son's wife get his half of the estate that was left to him?

Typically, whether the deceased son’s wife receives his half of the estate depends on the laws of intestate succession in the jurisdiction and the specifics of the mother's estate plan. If the mother had a will that specified the distribution of her estate and included provisions for her grandchildren or specified that a deceased beneficiary's share goes to their heirs, the wife may inherit. If there was no will and the estate is divided according to state law, the deceased son's share may pass to his children or, if he has none, to his spouse. It's advisable to consult with an estate attorney for precise guidance based on the situation.

Are adult children entitled to father's estate if his will left everything to second wife?

In general, if a father's will explicitly leaves everything to his second wife, adult children may not be entitled to the estate unless they can prove that the will is invalid or if there are state laws that provide for a portion of the estate to children, such as in cases of omitted heirs. Some jurisdictions have laws that protect the rights of children to a certain percentage of the estate, regardless of the will's provisions. It's important for the adult children to consult with a probate attorney to understand their rights and options based on the specific circumstances and laws in their jurisdiction.
