Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Washington

community property

We're in a community property state. My name is not on the deed to the house we live in, but he has a will which leaves me the property until I die, then reverts to his children. Can the children contest the will and leave me homeless in the event my husband predeceases me?

The children could contest the will, but without knowing more, I could not address the probability of success in such an action, except to say that the presumption is that a will is valid.
