We are in our forties; both divorced, no little ones to deal with... footloose and fancy free.I would like commitment; however, he's got cold feet.I feel at our age and no worries of having kids and knowing that one of us will pass on before the other (for legal purposes) we should do something either in writing or get married to secure the others future.Do you think marriage or some type of will would work.He wants me to have his house/land and not his kids and I want him to have my possessions as well and not have the state (either of us) to hold personal property for a year and then sell it to auction. Virginia is a funny state in the USA. We do plan on spending our lives together and love each other unconditionally...its GREAT!

 It doesn't sound to me as though he has cold feet it sounds like he knows exactly what he wants (YOU) and maybe he just has a bit of fear that marriage might mess a great thing up. That will pass and you probably will wind up getting maried anyway. Regarding the material I strongly suggest you consult an attorney. Every state has certain twists to their laws and you need to do it right. What you are looking to accomplish is not that hard to do and it is definitely worth spending a few hundred dollars to avoid a mess later.

 I think that since he is afraid of commitment a set of wills would do just fine.
