My dh wants us to sign new wills which effectively changes the legal ownership of our house from joint tenants to tenants in common. He inherited a large sum of money from his parents and "wants to ensure his kids get it, rather than me remarry and divert it from his kids". He is "protecting his family money".
His kids = kids from previous marriage plus kids from our marriage.
Each of us will be entitled to reside in our house without any kids forcing sale but ultimately the house goes to the kids.
I.e. upon his death i will have the right to reside in the house until i am no longer here or able to maintain it. The house plus all assets gets split between all our children. So that would include all "my savings" also.
Im not sure what i am asking but something here makes me feel uneasy.
