Each situation is different. Obviously legal instruments such as trusts and wills can be used. A home can also be re-deeded to one's children subject to a surviving spouse's life estate. The relationships among and characters of the various parties, their financial and marital states and other factors come into play. It is best to use an estate attorney with experience in this type of conundrum as it can be nettlesome.
