Amen. You can always count on people here to count their parents money as their own.

Shouldn't both of these women already have millions of dollars of their own?

You're misunderstanding something, perhaps based on your own life experiences. In my family, regardless of income and amount of savings, regardless if a teacher, nurse, attorney or business owner, we all include children, grandchildren, nieces, and nephews in our wills. I can't imagine not doing it that way; however, i grew up in Florida and was aware of many spouses in 2nd marriages who ignored the children by the first wife or husband, usually the former. No one is counting on it. As the older generation, we want to do it for the younger ones.

What about his late wife’s personal possessions? Did their children at least get those?

His ex is still living, and his children took what they wanted.

Gosh, I cannot imagine thinking this way at all, so much so that both my husband and I have structured trusts to ensure that if one of us dies, half the estate is immediately put in trust for our kids, even if grown and adult. I’d never exclude my kids the way you have. So cold!

The kids will have to wait until I die.

Glad to hear it. Condolences on the loss of your husband.

Did every single one of you fall for the clickbait headline?

Naomi left assets in trust, of which her two daughters are beneficiaries. Her husband is executor of the estate and trustee, with qualifying interest income for life, which is very normal way of taking care of the remaining spouse, while making sure the residual estate eventually goes to the children.

There’s no misunderstanding. The children have toward their parents money is quite clear here.

What children? Not in my family. The children aren't aware of what's written in our wills.

Yes, someone posted this upthread (more than once) but posters are choosing to ignore it.

I’m a witch because I am not immediately forking over my assets as a youngish widow? I could potentially live 35+ years or more. I am very generous to all the kids and help financially when I can, but mostly I take them on great trips. They are doing fine in life. Also, you have no idea how much money I actually have. I’m extremely comfortable but not rich.

DP. Isn’t that the way it usually works with inheritances?

Ignore these entitled brats. It’s ridiculous to even consider that your husband’s assets wouldn’t have gone to his living spouse first.

Thanks -- I didn't bother to read every single post. This whole thread is just such a bizarre, extended digression about something that isn't even true.
