A Trust is created in each partner’s Will so that, on the first death, the share of the deceased partner is left to their beneficiaries (usually their children but not necessarily) with the rights of occupation of the surviving partner secured by the terms of the Trust.

The Trust will ensure the surviving partner’s right to continue living in the house for as long as he or she wishes, move to another house or sell the property and receive an income from the share which belonged to the deceased partner.
