[WSBAPT] Property still in husband's and first wife's name

[Brent Williams-Ruth]

I had a similar situation - with one big exception, there were no kids
involved in marriage to W#1.

What I ended up doing was having my client (W#2) buy a title policy (can
provide recommendation for who I worked with if requested) after I outlined
all of the information so that when W#2 passes and her Will instructs that
the house is sold with proceeds to be divided between her two boys - that
the Title company will have clear title to insure that it will happen
without problem.

After looking at all the options, talking with many a mentor from this list
(thank you all, again). That was the most cost effective solution for our
situation.

Best of luck to finding a creative solution to this problem.
