I've been left out of the will

Children are entitled to the reserved share (legítima): two thirds of the estate, whatever the will says.

What the reserved share is

The part of the estate the law reserves for certain heirs.

«Legítima es la porción de bienes de que el testador no puede disponer por haberla reservado la ley a determinados herederos»

How much for children

Two thirds of the estate.

«Constituyen la legítima de los hijos y descendientes las dos terceras partes del haber hereditario de los progenitores.»
