[quote=Anonymous]As my mom has been doing her estate planning over the last months, my mom just informed me that when she does, 100% of her assets will go to my stepdad.

My stepdad has no children of his own, so in theory, when he dies (likely after her since he is 15 years younger), I (only child) will inherit what remains, but of course I know this is very likely not to be the case.

I was prepared for this information, and of course I recognize that this is my mom's right and her choice. I am a 40 year old adult who has been saving for my retirement for years, and am very capable of caring for myself.

What does irk me a bit is that my mom believes I will inherit from my stepdad and feels fully confident in that. When I mentioned that he will very likely remarry, she was offended and said she doesn't want to think about her husband remarrying after she dies.

I don't intent on letting this upset me greatly or letting it influence my relationship with my mom, but I needed a place for a light vent. Oh well.
