There's probably not a lot more that you can do except to continue taking care of the properties for him. After his death, you or any other interested person or business can petition the probate court to be named executor or personal representative. The executor will arrange to sell the properties and pay off your friend's final expenses and taxes. If there are any assets left, the executor will search for heirs. If you would like to be reimbursed for the time you've spent taking care of your friend's properties, keep track of your time and expenses and submit a bill to the executor.

Is my new husband entitled to the house that I received from a divorce?

Yes as top a share of the increase in value from date of marriage. I strongly suggest you obtain the services of an estate planning attorney to prepare a trust and supporting documents, wherein you can specifically exclude him if you desire.

If it saves the trust taxes without actually taking more money than is required to pay the bill, why would you have a problem with it. You may want an opinion from the trust's accountant that the action is legal.
