Actually I think they are looking into that. The main issue is that she wants everything to go my mother-in-law if she's still living, and if not to my kids (her not-legally-recognized grandkids) as she has no children of her own. My mother-in-law has two kids (my wife and her brother) so her wishes differ slightly - but again it would start with going to her wife if she's still living. Still I think you're idea about a conditional trust is a good one - I've been trying to stay out of the whole mess since I don't really have a stake or skills - maybe I'll try to bring it up during the post-Thanksgiving dinner relax-a-thon.
