Exactly this, we call it the inheritance line.As a young widow myself the property especially if bought in both names goes to the widow. The easiest part of the process was this part. There definitely wouldn’t be a trust especially as Mini wasn’t even on the radar then. We have 3 kids who I definitely will look after financially if I can. But their inheritance comes when I pass. It’s hard raising children solo on a single part time wage.

Definitely not the case in Australia and are you sure a loan just gets wiped when someone passes ? I mean who pays it ? I have to pay mortgage on my own, car loans etc
But yes the title goes into widows name on the property.
