I am financially dependent on my husband
The assets of my second husband whom I married a year ago is housed in a trust, of which I am not a beneficiary. He compelled me to resign my employment, so I am financially dependent on him. The problem is that he has not revised his will so if anything happens I can be left in the cold. He has mentioned that I would have lifelong use of our home but has nothing in writing.

I presume you are married out of community of property, in which case your financial position may be compromised if she passes. It is important that whatever is agreed between you is put into writing, especially the use of the home ( usufruct ). You should not be scared to discuss this with him including a revised Will or Trust
