IF MY SPOUSE REMARRIES AFTER
MY DEATH, COULD MY CHILDREN
BE DISINHERITED?
Many people prepare a will which leaves all their assets outright to their spouse. This type of approach may unintentionally disinherit your children if there were to be a second marriage.
I've seen it happen before... Wife dies and leaves everything to husband outright and not in a trust. Husband remarries. Husband dies and leaves everything to wife #2. Children from the first marriage, who are now grown adults, ask wife #2 for their mom's personal items such as wedding china and jewelry.
Wife #2 responds that they can buy their family heirlooms at the estate sale.
There is a better way to protect your spouse and to ensure your children receive an inheritance.
