Trusts and Second Marriages A key part of today’s estate planning often involves the use of Trusts in order to provide for a surviving spouse in a second marriage and the children of a decedent from a previous marriage. If all of the assets of the decedent spouse are simply left to the surviving spouse of the second marriage, there exists the possibility that the surviving spouse will simply leave all of the assets he or she receives to her own biological children, thereby disinheriting the decedent’s biological children. If the married couple agrees to execute a joint revocable Trust, upon the first spouse to die, the Trust will then become irrevocable. Alternatively, an irrevocable Trust could be executed from the start. In either case, provision within the Trust can provide for the right of the surviving spouse to receive income generated from the Trust, or the right to use, occupy and possess real estate constituting the principal residence, for example. The Settlor(s) of such a Trust can provide for a child of the decedent spouse to serve as a Co-Trustee with the second spouse upon the death of the first spouse to die. In this event, there is at least a check on whether or not income distributions and principal distributions for health and welfare are not inappropriate. This might apply if the two individuals executing the Trust are not absolutely sure that the surviving spouse will not disinherit the decedent’s biological children and will in fact follow the terms of the Trust and the parties’ original intentions. Also, in a first marriage situation with all of the children being of the marriage, inserting a testamentary special power of appointment provision in the Trust allows the surviving spouse to exercise this power of appointment via his or her Last Will and Testament in order to reallocate the remaining assets in the Trust upon his or her death. For example, if the surviving spouse felt that one child needed a larger share of the Trust assets in order to survive financially, that child would receive a larger share of the Trust assets than he or she was entitled to pursuant to the terms of the Trust. This special power of appointment provision may be entirely inappropriate when dealing with a second marriage. The reason is that the power could be exercised by the surviving spouse to leave assets to his or her own children and thereby leaving out the children of the deceased spouse of this second marriage. Every family and marriage is different. Only after discussing all of the issues and family dynamics in a second marriage context can you arrive at the optimum set of Trust documents that will best meet your objectives. Joseph D.
