My child or beneficiary is in a common law relationship. What can I do to make sure that my child’s or beneficiary’s inheritance is just for them?
Assets that your children or beneficiaries inherit may get commingled with assets that your children or beneficiaries own with someone else that they have a relationship with. By leaving an inheritance to your children or beneficiaries in a trust, you may be adding a layer of protection so that upon their possible subsequent divorce or failed relationship, your children or beneficiaries will be permitted to keep their full inheritance rather than being forced to share it with someone else.
