Hi Ladies,
I have been divorced for 7 years. I have one daughter. Both my ex husband and I have new partners.
We have both left everything we have to our daughter, houses and belongings, but in both of our wills we have included a clause which allows our new partners to live in the houses which we own for the rest of their lives if they so wish, as long as it’s just for themselves. If they don’t wish to live in these houses they then immediatley come into to my daughters posession. They will always belong to her.
I now live on a farm belonging to my partner so we don’t actually need my house to live in (it’s my little nest egg, so to speak)but we may live in it when my partner retires.
I have always had an up to date will under any circumstances, I think that some people are very reluctant to make one as it sometimes makes you face your own mortality, but I think it’s better to have one when your fit an well as it seems to me more upsetting if you feel you need to make one out of extreme necessity.
