Legal Answer
The answer depends on the will's wording, but the default position under the law is that your share would go to your children if you predeceased your mother.

Legal Answer
I concur with Mr. Johnson, but it is certainly suggestive that you draw up your own estate planning documents to ensure that your estate is passed along properly as well.
