Sideways disinheritance: the risk most families don't see coming
Picture this: one partner passes away, leaving everything to the other. Years later, the surviving spouse remarries and when they're gone, the home ends up with the new spouse's family rather than the children of the first marriage.
This is known as sideways disinheritance, and it can mean everything you've worked for ends up outside your bloodline.
A Property Protection Trust prevents it by ring-fencing your share of the family home for your children, while still allowing your surviving spouse to live there for as long as they need. A simple step that protects the people who matter most.
