Hello,
DH has repeatedly refused to say he won’t remarry if I were to die unexpectedly. I don’t mind him having another relationship if something were to happen to me. That being said I would never remarry.
I’m worried because if he were to remarry he would effectively disinherit our children. This happened to me when my father remarried. I’ve asked him and asked him but he won’t say he won’t remarry and disinherit the kids.
I’ve worked very hard to ensure the house is paid off and if nothing else I want make sure my children inherit my half.
What steps can I take to ensure this? We are currently joint owners, but I understand I ought to change this to tenants in common. Does this affect my rights to the house at all? I’m worried DH would take a loan out against his half of the house or something and it could be repossessed (he’s tried to do this before but I refused). He is also resistant to changing to tenants in common but as I understand it I don’t actually need his permission.
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
