Karen Walsh: Does my husband's will mean I'll lose my home?

My husband left everything between our three children in equal shares. I feel very vulnerable; I do not own the house that I even live in! What can I do?

The Succession Act 1965 provides that regardless of what is stated in a will, a spouse is entitled to a specific share in the estate.

Dear Karen, 

My husband passed away a few months ago. He was very ill for some time and I cared for him.
