'All our children's' partners are awful - how can we stop them from inheriting our £2m estate?'

Money Confidential with Katie Morley

When the time comes for our children to grow up and settle down with someone, we can only hope and pray that they choose that person wisely.

One couple who know this only too well are Malcolm* and his wife, Penelope, who did all they could to raise their three children to have good judgement. Yet have been horrified by every one of the long-term partners they have each brought home.

Malcolm and Penelope have worked hard to build an estate of around £2,000,000, and they wrote to the Telegraph's Money Confidential podcast with fears that when their children eventually inherit this money, it could end up with the unsuitable partners. Their plan is to leave their entire estate equally among their children, but they want to know: how can they keep their hard-earned fortune out of the "bad" partners' hands if their relationships don't work out?
