Nothing surprising here, money-wise. The assets, by law, almost always go to the surviving spouse.

The bigger question is: Who controls the EIB operation/brand? Will be interesting to see how that plays out.

Re: "The assets, by law, almost always go to the surviving spouse."

In Florida, that is not the case, unless their law has changed since 2013.

A mandatory minimum of 40% goes to the living wife. That money can also be placed in a Trust, which pays all the annual Trust income to the wife for life.

After the wife's death, a new Trust beneficiary can be named, such as a charity, children, etc., or the Trust can be terminated and all the Trust assets distributed to new beneficiaries.
