Are my stepchildren entitled to my inheritance?

In most cases, the deceaseds estate will pass to the nearest surviving relatives and most commonly this will be a spouse and children. A step-child is not considered for this purpose and has no automatic right of inheritance from a step-parent. These rules cannot be challenged directly.

Can I leave my stepchildren nothing if my husband dies?

In most instances, the stepparent leaves their estate to their direct descendants and their spouse leaves their estate to theirs.
