Dear Quentin,
I’m following up on my earlier letter about my husband, who would not write a will but did write a prenup that excluded me.
We finally met with a lawyer to draw up wills. I am still feeling unsure. The lawyer was not concerned about the prenup, but said a will can override it. My husband is setting up a trust and giving me a lifetime estate in his home, but the funds will only cover half of the costs to live here.
