Probably too simplistic - BUT - in view of previous posts stating how difficult it is to deal with wills if the male dies it got me thinking.
Like many others I suspect - we bought our apartment in joint names.
We opened joint bank accounts etc
Would we be better putting the apartment and our bank account in Gill's name - then if she makes a will and leaves everything to me - I will be her next of kin - so if she pops her clogs - it seems that it is easier for possessions to go to the man as opposed to the other way!
If I pop my clogs then it won't make any difference
Now I know what you are thinking - we are getting married on the 31st May and before the ink is dry this could be a cunning plan by Gill to bump me off and run off to Turkey with a man half her age!
Call me an old romantic - but I will take the risk
:D
Ps Just off for a Balti - so I will be out for a few hours!!
