MarketWatch reported on considerations for widows deciding whether to leave the family home to their stepchildren.
One suggestion is that leaving the home to stepchildren allows for flexibility, as the widow can always change her mind later.
This approach is seen as less drastic than selling the home now and splitting the proceeds among heirs.
