Commonly Asked Estate Planning Questions From Users Near You

Can my spouse do what he wants with our marital assets without my consent?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney James P Frederick (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Frederick & Frederick Attorneys at Law
It may be possible for him to do this, depending on the assets involved. It would be difficult or impossible with many assets, however. If the real estate is jointly held, you would need to sign off on it. He has no access to your retirement accounts at all. They belong to you. He may be a beneficiary upon your death, but that does not give him any access or control over these assets. Your second question: how do you find out? A Will transfers only probate assets, at time of death. Your joint assets would never pass under your husband's Will. With a trust, title must be transferred during lifetime. If you see account statements listing the assets in your husband's name as trustee, then that would be a huge tip-off. If you have additional concerns, you should meet with your own attorney to review your situation.
