 Pittsburg, Kansas | I think in Kansas everything goes to the surviving spouse. If they were legally married.
If you don't want your estate to go to your spouse, better get a divorce before death.
If they were divorced, then the will would take precedent.
That is my understanding. But I'm no attorney.
Edit: I did a search and came up with this. Looks like half to spouse and half to children.

So I would presume her will would be valid for her half.
Stuff we took care of with a living trust, since both of us had kids from a previous marriage.
