Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida

Terms of my will
I am a British Citizen, resident in
Florida and married to an American
lady, (2nd wife). I have a step-son
from this marriage and 2 daughters
in UK, from my first marraige.

My wife and I have a verbal
agreement that upon my death, she
will be the recipient of the estate,
(except some minor family
heirlooms). The agreement is that
upon her death, the estate wouldbe
equally divided between the 3
children.
When I write a (new) will, is there a
clause which could be included,
which ensures that my wife remains
true to this agreement, i.e. My 2
daughters recieve their share of the
remaining estate?

Re: Terms of my will

Verbal agreements don't work in the probate arena. You need to both get wills done properly. See a lawyer.
