Is there any way to set the bequest to be dramatically lowered or zeroed out in case of an early death?
My feeling is that planning for a large bequest is also a form of self-insurance.
I want to see how this would affect the insurance recommendations.
In particular, I want to assume a large bequest if we both live full lifespans, but adjust asset spending to support wife's consumption as a priority should I die.
