Well, they aren't Indiana residents any more and apparently haven't been since late 2018.
Let me say that a trust is a specific instrument that would need to take the deeds to all their community property, move then into a trust, and name specific trustees to benefit but not BM, the husband.
Personally, I think if there were any evidence of a wife going to those lengths to disinherit her husband, it's a pretty specific action. It involves taking community property and converting it to another kind. Now, it's possible their holdings (now sold, I believe) in Indiana could have been part of such an unusual, disinherit-the-husband trust, but surely the husband had to sign the transfer deed? Do you really think Suzanne hold all property in her own right, such that her husband never minded not being on the deed for his own home? Sounds really really strange (and specific) to me.
But I believe their assets are mostly tied up in that $1.7M house (possibly 1.5M) that they purchased before selling their $750,000 house in Indiana, along with some acreage.
Trusts are for death, IMO. However, a trust that acts as a retroactive pre-nup would indeed be interesting and fall under my rubric of "unusual financial arrangement," and to me, that's a pretty narrow and specific category.
I am quite aware that death and divorce are not the same. I think most of us are. But any arrangements made by Suzanne were made before either one of those occurred.
