My husband and I are both on disability. If my husband were to die first would I have to sell my home and give his “ share” to his grown kids? No , nor would he be expected to give my daughter her portion.
My husband has a small life insurance policy for me and one for his kids, both are small but that’s all we could afford and now with our illness’s we can’t even get another policy.

I completely agree with you. Younger people can still work and make a living and save for their future. The older spouse has already spent their lifetime working and saving and that’s the time they need to be taken care of. I agree with leaving everything to the spouse and then fairly splitting it up between the kids after the surviving spouse is deceased.
