It doesn't have to be complicated but it does have to be very specific so there are no loopholes that can be challenged by the unscrupulous.

My parents wills are short and sweet and watertight.

Each leaves everything to the other or if the spouse is dead then to me and then to my children if I'm dead and so on.

But what happens if the surviving spouse remarries?

Congratulations on doing something to ensure the nightmare fairy will no longer bother you. The only thing you have to do now is a yearly review of your will to ensure it's still a good fit as your life develops and circumstances change.
Is it worth pointing out to your OH that if he dies before you and will-less, you will inherit everything and his nephews won't even be 'worth' 20%, they'll be worth nothing to him, IYSWIM.

Ah, a man who puts his mother ahead of his children. What a catch he must be.

Thank you, it's amazing how much calmer I feel. If hubby does die I won't get it all, just up to a limit then his mum gets some and his sister too. But as long as I have my will done I'm ok:T

Hubby isn't her dad, no will means I get a certain amount which I would see DD right with, but she is not directly to get anything no. Doesn't make him less of a catch to me.
