Reasons not to re marry when nearly 60

[NeverShine4me]

I know there are lots of reasons not to re marry at an older age, especially when both parties have adult children. Issues as couple have agreed to leave their inheritance to each other and then to be passed on to their children afterwards. Surely the remaining spouse could spend all the money etc, give some away to his/her children so that when they die their is nothing left for the children of the spouse who died first? Anyone who has been through this or has a legal background got anything to throw at this....

If a house is left by a grandparent to their child, do they intend for the house to eventually pas to their grandchildren or to the children of the child's second spouse?

It doesn't matter what the grandparent intended. All they can do is leave the house to their child to do with as they wish.

I think with me I would never marry again, whatever age. I've done it twice and I know I would never do it again. I got married the 2nd time to have children and that's the only reason, or I'd have just lived with him.

My in-laws got married (both widowed) at almost 70 and I just couldn't understand why. Everything they have they could have still had, without getting married.

There is another thread on AIBU about the reasons for getting married. Incudes talking about inheritance tax, next of kind, legality of marriage versus being single. Also about making wills. There is a big difference between married and being single
