What is the name of your state? Texas
This is the second marriage for us both. My husband recently had his will drawn up and made the following provision for me regarding his house, for which he has sole ownership:
"I give, devise and bequeath to my wife, (name) for life, with remainder to (his children), equally, all that real property located at (address and legal description)."
I would like to know what that means to me. If he dies before I do, I take it to mean that I may live in the house but that I may not sell it because I wouldn't hold title to it since it would automatically revert to his children, and NOT heirs of my choice, upon my death. If this is true, who, then, is responsible for paying property taxes, insurance, and maintaining the property?
