Get married and move into the family home and if after years of a long marriage then yes the house should go to you.
And after you pass divided equally again.

Great idea! But I like the idea of the rental. Of course I don't mind selling and using the funds for the 3 college educations. However, we can already afford those. Selling just for the sake of doing so and making a point to DCUM makes no sense to me.

Scenario 1: Provide life insurance policy of near or equal to price of home for me; house goes to his kids (thanks to the poster who recommended this!)
Scenario 2: Create a will giving me 50% ownership/his girls 50% but I remain in the home...We may decide to buy each other out at some point but if I sell, they get 1/2 the proceeds
Scenario 3: I inherit house; it's passed on and split between the 3 kids after my demise

Of course, I really like SO's idea: I'm his wife. I get everything and he trusts me to treat all 3 fairly, knowing my character as he does. After all I'm step-mom for better or worse, that's the reality.

You own a house, so I'm not getting it. That was the children's parents house. They should inherit it. Keep our house, rent it out and get it paid off. Your child should not inherit that house equally. Your new husband is not raising him. He's almost grown and has two parents to inherit. I think your comments are crummy about marrying off the girls so they get their husband's money. Life doesn't always work out well and dad should be leaving them something, if not all.

I agree Dad should leave his girls something. But you can't leave your spouse out in the cold. If you want to leave all to your kids, don't remarry.

The issue is that my home will never be lived in by my SO or either of his children. His will become OUR family home--the place The grandkids come to visit. You're all envisioning Him choking on a piece of meat at our wedding reception. Both of our grandmothers are alive and kicking in their late 80s/early 90s. His grandfather too! What if we become that couple? 50 years of living together in that home=get out now, go back to your old home????

Doubtful his grandkids will be visiting if you are present. You are out of your mind.

Cool! That will make this whole thing easier.

WTF???????????? That's just awful, awful, awful!! I really do hope you're a troll at this point.

Why doesn't the Daughter staying at home for college live there alone while going to school?
He moves in with you in the home you already have,
Your son gets that home when you pass and if husband is still living then he moves Back to his original home.
Or would you prefer he gets that home and your son gets nothing ?

With all kindness (and I truly do mean to be kind, as I suspect you're truly trying to be helpful), your suggestion makes no seMae.

Should he and his daughter really move out of the family home and into mine, leaving the college daughter alone in a family home?

He doesn't feel the need to go to any length to ensure I'm not legally and financially regarded as his wife.
