It is not possible to give you a clear legal answer to your inquiry without a more detailed evaluation of the facts of your case. What your oldest daughter told you is simply not correct. Generally speaking, you may leave your estate to anyone you wish. The only exception is, if your husband is still living, you may have to include him in your will for a portion of your estate.
You need to see an attorney to draw up a valid, legally binding, last will and testament.
You should not take any action, based upon my advice, without consulting an attorney and explaining all the facts to him. You are best advised to seek the services of a competent Kentucky attorney. You can telephone your local bar association for a referral, or can find a good lawyer on-line at the Kentucky Bar Association's Lawyer Referral Service:
