I am recently diagnosed with a serious life threatening illness and still have no valid will
I am not in the 'old' category although I have grandkids.
My issue is that I am separated but still legally married and although have no contact with my 2 of my married children I am wondering 'where I stand' legally with regard to possible claims from spouse and 'absent' children.
Do my 5 step children also have ability to claim from my estate?
All my grandchildren are not legally adults.
My estate is not extensive but as in most families a death can bring out the worst in people.
Am I able to state particular items that are to be bequeathed to particular people.
