If you are married for the second time and have children by a prior marriage, make sure you see an attorney and have a Will written immediately. Also, check the title on your house. If the house is titled in your name only, when you die your spouse will not inherit the house but will instead inherit a "life estate". After your spouse dies, your children inherit the house.

Be very cautious when getting married again if you own a house. Always see a competent lawyer to verify that your property passes upon your death as you wish it to pass.
