Generally speaking in the end the wife slash mother is the one who determines what is done with the estate. Short of being divorced and out of the picture the wife who generally outlived the husband controls the wealth the husband spent his life acquiring.
So if you are a child and want a decent piece of the pie you need to suck up to mom lol.

Yeah that way the wife doesn't get it all. Give her half and the kids half. Sounds good. Liquidate and divide.
I've done this literally hundreds of times.
