[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have to say I have honestly never imagined that if one of my parents passes first the other would remarry, but I suppose they might. Hmm.

Socially, I'd love for them to have a companion, and I think both would have lots of "desirable" options.

Financially, yes, I suppose I'd have to chat with them about how to re-define arrangements with financial advisors. They are very engaged with their financial advisor and I have to imagine they've addressed this already, but if one were to get married I am not sure how laws or new feelings would affect their plans. I am not opposed to a new husband or wife being taken care of in a fair and kind way (my parents have enough money that I don't need all of it, I am an only child) but I do think that steps need to be taken to ensure the bulk goes to family of origin (me, my family) and no step-kids in their 50s or 60s profit from my parents (besides maybe the sale of a modest house after their biological parent passes, I'd be OK with that).[/quote]

You really have no say in this.  I’m a pp whose FIL was enagaged within 4 months of MIL’s death.  Upon hearing of the engagement, one of Dh’s siblings tried to talk to FIL about this. He refused to discuss it and would not entertain the idea of a prenup or any trusts, etc.  He was fine with the new wife getting everything if he predeceased her.[/quote]
