Am I entitled to a share of a will?

Littlemissdee

M-I-L died 10 yrs ago, Her will passed all assets/property to F-I-L.

F-I-L now died & his will to be split 50-50 to both sons.

My late partner (son) died 2 years ago, I was main beneficiary of his will alongside our 2 children. We were not married.

Will not amended following sons death as f-I-L had dementia.

Am I entitled to a share of what would have been my partners 50% share  or will the monies go directly to our children?

Thanks in advance

I would say as not married then no.  Children will depend on the wording of the will.

In the event that a beneficiary dies then, unless the will states otherwise, their bequest passes to their children if they have any. Marrital status does not come into it. 

How old are your children?

agree unless otherwise stated it would pass to the deceased's children and not the spouse (or partner)

No need for trusts then. Each should receive 50% of their father’s share unless the will had a survivorship clause in it.
