I think when most of us were married, we made our (then) spouse the beneficiary of our estate.
Then we got divorced, and (if have kids) made kid(s) our beneficiaries, though the estate will be held in trust until they are age of majority and guardianship goes to the other parent (btw, guardianship assigned in a will is only temporary, until assigned by court).
Then some brave souls, decide to remarry.
They have a spouse who is not a biological parent of your child(ren). How do some people arrange their estate? All to spouse and nothing to kids? Do they split it? (Joint tenancy on house, so spouse gets house) and kids get the rest?
Just curious how some people have changed their wills to reflect changing circumstances...
