Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida
Partitioning of common assets
I would like half of our accumulated
assets put in my name only. Our last
will and testament (trust) names our
only son as sole inheritor. My half would
go to charitable causes. My husband is
reluctant to split up the money.

Re: Partitioning of common assets
You may not have any real seperate assets. Usually, most property is owned as husband and wife and is jointly owned. You'll need his consent most likely. You should both sit down with an estate lawyer to discuss this.
