We are in the beginning stages of making out a will, I wondered if I died before a will was made if they had a legal right to my things, not their fathers assets. He already has them as his beneficiaries.

Maybe, if they are the only legal relatives left. However, if you don't want them to, you can just have a will stating your wishes. You don't have to give them anything.
** However, I'd like to note that as a step daughter myself, I hope my step mother wouldn't try to take away anything that belongs in our family and gives it to some other relative if my father happens to die first. We have property that has been in the family for generations, many family heirlooms, and other keepsakes that my sister and I would like to keep. I'd be very sad if our heritage was lost due to her greed.

You need a will so that your assets go to whomever you want them to. If you die before your husband, your assets go to him, so they could end up with his kids. You need a will to affirm who your beneficiary's are. That is the only way to safeguard your assets.

Why don't you write out a Will, dividing the assets out, so that once it on paper, no one will be able to fight over it. A Will more legalize, whom it what.
So i think that you should make out a Will, it better that way.

Unless you have a will stating where you wish your assets to go, unless you go before your spouse which then he inherits everything and when he departs,then his kids could inherit whats left

No. They are not your "kin" because they are not your relatives. Unless you left something to them in your Will, then they would not automatically receive your assets. Your husband would.

you can leave thim 1 dollar in your will so they cant contest it in court when you die. At least that how it works in my state.
