4 Ways a Married Person Can Leave Their Estate to Their Spouse

Protect Your Spouse and Your Family’s Legacy

When one spouse passes away, the way the estate is structured determines whether their wishes are honored or unintentionally undone. Many couples believe leaving everything outright to the surviving spouse is simplest, but this can lead to serious consequences, including the risk that assets never reach the children or heirs they were meant for.

In this free guide, estate planning attorney Jeffrey I. Fouts, Esq. explains the four main ways a married person can leave their estate to their spouse and how each method affects control, protection, and inheritance outcomes.

You’ll learn:

• How outright inheritance can expose assets to remarriage or influence from others
• How to use a revocable living trust to provide for your spouse while protecting your children’s inheritance
• When to name your spouse as trustee or use a co-trustee for balanced control
• Why some couples choose to leave specific assets directly to children to preserve family property or heirlooms
