Your Daughter's Inheritance Went to Her Husband's New Wife

You left everything to your daughter. Here is how it can end up with her husband's new wife instead of your grandkids. When an inheritance goes into a joint account or a jointly owned house, it usually passes to the surviving spouse. If that spouse remarries, the new family can inherit it. Keeping it in an account in her name only helps, but when she dies it goes wherever her will says, and many married people leave everything to their spouse. A trust-owned account lets her use the money as she sees fit, and whatever is left goes to your grandchildren. Some parents call that controlling from the grave. Others call it the only way to protect the grandkids. Which side are you on? Send this to someone who is leaving everything to their kids. This video is general information. Estate planning rules vary by state, so please talk with an estate planning attorney where you live about your own plan. #EstatePlanning #Inheritance #LivingTrust #Grandparents #FamilyMoney
