If no estate planning is in place, then yes. Under the Statutes a surviving spouse has some rights to inherit from you. How much etc., depends on the specific circumstances. Keep in mind that you can prepare an estate plan to address some of these concerns. I suggest sitting down with an estate planning attorney near you to discuss.
