What are some typical will scenerios? My husband of nearly one year and I are attempting to create a will. It is new to both of us. He is 54, I am 57.
I have 3 grown, unmarried, children, he has none. I have two siblings, sister and brother, both unmarried. He has one unmarried sister and two grown neices; one is married with a baby on the way.
My husband came into the marriage with a lot of assets, I have comparatively few assets. No, we did not to the pre-nup agreement (It was within a month of marriage and too late in the game to go through with it.) But in his mind, the money is still separate, even though he knows that WA is a community property state.
We are currently seeing a financial planner who wants to know how our estate is to be distributed. We don't know where to begin.
What's a typical scenerio-- generally. Then perhaps, if you have a specific suggestion, that would be great too.
Thanks.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
