If I die and my husband remarries, will his new wife get my money?

Posted on:

Here at Blueberry Financial we have just launched our new Will Service, so we can help clients to write their Wills and Power of Attorneys.

It has been really making me think about my own circumstances and that of my family. For example, if I were to die and I left all of my money to my husband and then he remarries, would my money go to his new wife on his death? I don’t like the thought of that. I want it to go to my children, but how do I make that happen?

By putting a family trust into my Will I can make sure that nothing goes to any future wives, but is kept for the use of my husband and children as and when they should need it.

It also protects my money after I die if my children get divorced as it belongs to the trust and not to them. So if one day my lovely daughter comes home and says that she is marrying this hooligan, when they end up getting divorced, he will not get a penny of my money. Now that is cool!! OK, maybe I do get a little excited over this stuff, but can you really blame me? I get to make sure that on my death my family are looked after and my money will not be taken away from them by divorce or bankruptcy or care fees. Are you starting to get a little excited about it now too? Maybe just a little bit?!

If you are, then contact us today and we can sort out your Wills for you and make sure that you have that exciting family trust in there too.
