PROTECTION OF SECOND WIVES IN TRUSTS CASES
Protection of Second Wives against Children of the First Marriage is
one of the most common themes in trust and estate litigation in Los
Angeles, as well as in estate planning. Our trust attorneys
are frequently asked questions as to assess what assets would go to the
second (or third) wife, and what assets will be distributed to the
children of prior marriages.
Control v. Distribution:
In some cases, the disputes revolve around who ultimately has control
of the assets. In other cases, trust disputes focus on who will
be in control of the distribution, and when the distribution will
happen. When a spouse becomes incapacitated, the focus is
initially on control, but it soon changes to distribution.
Control of assets either under a power of attorney, in trust, or in a
conservatorship can ultimately determine who gets the assets.
Timing and Manner of Trust Distributions:
When preparing an estate plan for couples with prior marriages, one of
the main questions is when will the distribution to the children from
the first marriage occur. Safeguards can be placed to
protect the second wife, as well as the children to insure that the
distribution plan cannot be thwarted by anyone. At
times, we use professional fiduciaries to manage the distribution to
avoid conflicts between the second wife, and the children.
What if your spouse tried to name someone else as a beneficiary of a community property life insurance or annuity?
If your spouse has named someone else other than his/her spouse as a
beneficiary of a life insurance, annuity or an IRA, without your
written consent, you may set aside your 1/2 right in that asset and
reverse the beneficiary designation as to one half. Call us
to discuss how we can help you recover your community assets.
