Probably a Trust would be the best vehicle to achieve what you want without a Trust into which you transfer all of your assets, what remains in your name when you die, will be subject to your wife's claims as she has certain priorities. Even if you have a Will that gives everything to your children, your spouse can file a claim in probate to elect to take against the will, in which case she would receive of what she would normally have received if you did not have a Will.

Would judges follow a signed will over one that was not?

Answered by attorney Roman Aminov
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Offices of Roman Aminov
Wills have very specific execution requirements and a Will which is not signed will almost certainly not be admitted to probate.

Can I contest a Will that my father left giving all assets to a nephew-in-law?

You have every right to contest you father's will based on factors such as undue influence, duress, lack of capacity, or improper execution. You should speak to an estates attorney who can analyze the will and prepare objections to it.
