You can prepare a will designating who gets what of your property. A special will is not needed. If you have one now, you can amend it or prepare a new will with this provision in it.

You have every right to leave your house or anything else to your children or whomever you wish. In fact, you can prepare a new deed so as to make your children "joint tenants with rights of survivorship". That way, the house doesn't get tied up in probate; it automatically is theirs upon your death. Consult with a local attorney.
