Having a Will & Having a Trust - Differences
- Q. If I leave anything in my estate planning to my mother, can her husband (my stepfather) claim any of it as her spouse?
- A: The best way to ensure what you leave to your mom ends up going to your mom instead of your stepfather is to use a Trust as your primary planning tool. If you add beneficiary asset protection provisions to that Trust, your mom could leave her share of your Trust property in the Trust and enjoy the benefits of it over time without taking direct control over all of it, which would prevent your stepfather from getting it through something like a joint account he may have with your mom.
