[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I assume one person can set up a revocable trust without the consent of their spouse? Most of my assets are in our home (joint tenants with right of survivorship) and retirement account (goes to spouse), but I also have separate accounts that I started before I was married, some of which I've added to since marriage, and I think I want them to go directly to my kids, as DH also has significant assets under his own control and doesn't need them, and like OP, I can see DH remarrying if I die. So, go solo to an attorney and set them up? I assume as long as DH gets at least 50% of my estate after I die, he couldn't contest it? [/quote] For the accounts that you started before marriage, all you have to do is to name your children as beneficiaries. Exclude the husband. On your death, they get those accounts regardless of what will might say. The house and retirement accounts will go to DH.[/quote]
