Dear Len & Rosie,

My mother is a very healthy 79-year-old who plans on getting married this summer. Her husband to be is also in good health. He has told her that he will put his house into trust for his children when he passes away but she will be able to live there until her death. He does not want her to contribute any money into the up keep of the house. Is there anything my mother needs to do before getting married to protect her assets and make sure she will always have a home to live in? His children like her and said she can live there until she wants to leave. I'm concerned that they may change their minds after their father is gone.

Karen
