When couples discover estate planning reveals unintended power imbalances in shared wealth

My wife and I built wealth together but most of it is in my name for tax reasons, and now we're doing estate planning and realizing that legally I control what happens to money we both earned, which feels wrong but changing it now has huge implications. We never thought about how the paperwork would matter when one of us is gone.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Administrative convenience during life becomes moral complexity in death when legal structures don't reflect true partnership.
