As my wife put it, reading a draft will can be daunting. Our respective draft wills were over 40 pages.
I never really pondered how assets move upon the death of a spouse. However, because of some questions from my wife, we learned what happens to a dead spouse's assets.
Here is a graphic showing my understanding.
