OK , so morally it doesnt look good , and legally , which is what matters...its a grey area....................?

As has already been said, there is no grey area legally.

And no, morally, it doesn't look good wanting money from someone just because you want it.

I have been doing some reading and my grounds i can discuss at a later date with my solicitor , and in the meantime i can stop the estate being dsitributed etc....

yes it sounds a bit harsh , but i firmly believe my husband would want his kids to share the house proceeds

What your husband wanted is irrelevant. It wasn't his money.

Surely as adults if anyone could contest the will it would be the children themsleves? What do they think about it?

I suspect a solicitor will also welcome discussing it with you for many hours.

one of them is fairly quiet about it , but the other two are as angry as me, the two cousins who benefit gave us some old war memorobilia we wanted etc after the wake to be fair to them mind you

Are you sure he would want you to still give solicitors lots of money after finding out that you have no case?
