Commonly Asked Questions about Unmarried Couple Wills

A Separate Will To Protect Children from Previous Spouses Many couples today are not on their first marriage and they often have children from previous relationships. Each having your own wills can make it much easier for everyone involved when it is time to pass on assets to these children.
The legal heirs of an unmarried deceased person are their parents, siblings, and grandparents. If the deceased has no siblings or grandparents, their parents are their sole heirs. If the deceased has siblings or grandparents, they inherit the property in equal shares.
Revocable Living Trust For many reasons it is often advisable for unmarried partners to each have their own revocable living trusts, naming the other as primary beneficiary. This keeps separate property separate but permits each partner to provide for the other upon death or incapacity.
The partnership generally terminates with the death of a partner in a partnership. This means one partner has to fulfil the remaining obligations, pay all the debts and divide assets and profit among themselves.
If your spouse has died, and you havent remarried, then youre considered unmarried. It might seem odd, and you might still consider yourself as married. However, in the eyes of the law, your marriage ended when your spouse died.
Without estate documents, beneficiary designations or some kind of written agreement, unmarried partners typically cant inherit, said Jennifer Sawday, an estate planning attorney in Long Beach. But your friend should consider talking to a family law attorney to see if she has any recourse, Sawday said.
In California, if the property is held by him with others as joint tenants with right of survivorship, then the surviving tenants receive his interest. Otherwise, his property would go to whomever he leaves it to in a will or, if it has been transferred to a trust, wherever the trust directs it to go after his passing.
When unmarried partners break up, the division of property works differently than it does for married couples. If youre not married, then you generally keep what you came into the relationship with and anything that you earned or bought on your own during your time together.
