MAKING SURE MY SON GETS MY ASSETS BEFORE I MARRY AGAIN
Question Details:
I HAVE 401K TOD, CD TOD, MOBILE HOME TOD, LIFE INSURANCE (all TOD my son).
If your son is named as a beneficiary of specified assets, then he is entitled to inherit those assets at your death. However, if you remarry you need i) a premarital agreement laying out that your new wife does not inherit those assets, and ii) a new will and/or trust providing for your child and your new wife, respectively. As a spouse, she has marital rights under state law that need to be addressed by the above items. A lawyer with estate planning expertise in your state is needed.

Are you a lawyer?
