Avoiding disinheritance?

Will try to be brief but comprehensive. Am happily married with 1 dc, we own a house. Obvs our wills give to each other and then to dc. Most scenarios covered.

Can I prevent future disinheritance of dc if I die and dh remarries? Dh is putty in the hands of women always keen to please his partner and I can quite easily foresee him remarrying and feeling that he should give resources to the children of his new wife. Is there a legal way to prevent this? Btw I'm not imminently dying AFAIK but I have known this situation to occur in rl.

I think you can write your will to say your share goes to your DC but DH has lifetime rights or similar to live in the house.

You need mumblechum! She's a Will expert - it's her job. She's written my Will for me and did a great job. She will be able to advise you.
