If proprety is given to soemone with a life este reserved for you, then you will get the use of those tems for the rest of yrou natural life. But, a surviing spouse may elect to take their stuatory share (among other things) instead of how the will says things are to be distributed. If this is at all confusing, you should take a copy of the will to a probate attorney in your area. so that they can explain you options.

A person may leave property that that person owns at the time of edeath to another person by setting the gift out in a legally valid Will. If you and your husband own property jointly then that property does not pass under the Will. In Missouri the law provides a way for a surviving spouse to "take against the Will" under certain circumstances. I would agree that you need o cvonsult with an attorney in your area.
