[WSBAPT] Effect of Homestead

Thanks -- he has no children, and I believe he wants the house in trust...

Haven't read statute as to this but how about a TDD to children with life estate reserved?

Listmates -- I am representing the H of a couple for his estate planning.  The home he and his wife reside in is just in his name...on his death, he wants it to go in trust, and W can live there rent free as long as it is maintained.  Most of the rest of his assets will  go into a marital deduction trust and/or a credit shelter trust, also for her benefit.

I had proposed a life estate in the house, but I believe she could still force a sale for the actuarial value of the place.  Then I wondered about whether she could claim homestead (or award in lieu thereof) and defeat the placement of the residence into a trust.

Any thoughts?
