They each have their own Trusts for their respective heirs. They want to be protected so that if one of them dies, the other can continue to live the house indefinitely. They want the heirs of the home owner to be able to inherit the house, but only after the death of the other partner if the owner dies first. What would the best legal arrangement be for this?
