[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just because it’s come up,

She was a smart woman, turned a little bit of money into wealth.  I don’t think it’s okay that two kids who aren’t biologically related to her now adult child, are going to receive half of that wealth. She didn’t go the route of a trust specifically because he had no intentions of starting a second family. She was my friend, I know details because when you prepare for end of life people like to talk through things. We talked through how our children will continue on without us and the money gave her a huge relief for her son. 
 Marrying someone with kids is one thing, but fully taking on two young kids plus a baby is different, and I don’t think it’s right that he’s taking an “all is equal” approach because she would have protected her son if this was something she thought would happen.  [/quote]

So it's her money that will now be spread out to another's.    Different story then in My opinion.

She trusted her spouse.  I feel for their son.

Not his money. Hers. I don't understand why the PPs are piling on the OP. He has no business giving her money to kids that are not his. [/quote]
he

I[b] mean... it's his money now, legally.[/b] She's gone. It ceased to be "her" money when she passed.

OP's friend was very naive in thinking her 40-something husband ("nearing 50") was done with family life. Especially if they are here in the DC area, where most people have kids at an older age and it's socially acceptable to do so. I get that OP is disappointed, but she needs to butt out. [/quote]

Only because she did seek out and make Legal protections.

Morally, her money = son's money.

Are you a second wife by chance pp?[/quote]
