she asks where she stands ... the will is most likely invalid so you should not worry! BUT life is too short to waste in this 'slavery'!

Did hubby make the will before or after you married?
What do you mean the sons signed the Will?
As a spouse you have the right to make a claim under the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975 after the death of your husband for reasonable financial provision.
Otherwise, you have no say in your husband's testamentary dispositions.

i lived in a private house rented,the two sons signed for there 40/40 percent,with no witneses only i saw yes this was done before i got married so regardless weather i married my husband he was going to leave me 20 grand,our marriage is not really all a happy one constant reminder from my husband if passes away he wants me out of the house,because he feels i have a right to stay here due to my son being under the age of 18,i do know how his sons feel about me they are scared im a goldigger,i just hate this feeling,i really do have to think about mine and my son furture,ive put so much into this marriage,and feel used as my husband cannot do alot.
