My step kids won't be getting anything from my late DH

[Anonymous]

DH died a month ago. He left $750,000 in life insurance. We have a home and 2 cars which are in my name too so of course they go to me. The life insurance policy is set up to go to me. My SK think that they should get part of it. They are both grown, I have 2 kids with my late DH who are 3 and 6 so I feel that money should go to helping to raise them. My DH paid a crazy amount of child support plus took really good care of my step kids, bought them both a car on their 16th birthdays and put them through college (they got scholorships but he paid for everything the scholorships didn't pay plus helped them with living expenses). I feel that have gotten all they need/ should get from their dad already. Their father left them a few trinkets each but as far as money, he left them nothing. My way of thinking is that this money is just to give my children the same things that my late DH already gave my step children.

I know what I am going to do but I just wondered what other's opinions are.

Not picking on you personally, a lot of people are expressing this sentiment, but this is a really stupid thing to say. People don't write a will with the "hope" that their wishes might potentially be carried out by whomever they leave their assets to. That totally defeats the point of a will. If he wanted to divide his assets equally amongst all the children, then he would have stated as much very clearly. Why is this so hard to understand?

Quoting brittanyjenean:

Did you ever think that he left it all to you in hopes that you would divide up his assets equally amongst ALL of his children?
