Trust Registration Service, help with wording please

I'm trying to use the Trust Registration Service online system on Gov. website but I'm unsure about one section.
I've tried phoning the advice line but it's a recorded message saying that it's currently unavailable due to a fault.

My parents owned their property tenants in common, when one died then the surviving spouse would be entitled to live in the property, on a lifetime trust basis.

The share of the property belonging to the deceased parent would pass to their children as beneficiaries.

Now I'm trying to use the TRS and have to list each beneficiary, should I class the surviving spouse as a beneficiary too? Or is it just the children?

Would appreciate any help

Do you mean a will trust where the surviving spouse had a life interest in the property, but the children were the ultimate beneficiaries of the trust?

The life tenant is a beneficiary.
