[quote=Anonymous]OP, do you have children? Do you think your husband was hoping your father would be the college fund? I think you need to directly ask you husband what concerns him so. Maybe he was counting on your father's inheritance to help fund your retirement together. So that's one issue you need to sort out and call out directly. If he thought your dad was a plan for the future, that's pretty crappy.

Then, you need to ask yourself what your reaction/feelings would be if you father dies and his entire estate passes to his second wife and her children. Because that is what will happen unless his will stipulated otherwise. If you're fine with her getting his house, pension/retirement, material goods and investments, then ok. If it doesn't trouble you to think that grown step children will receive these things and your children receive nothing, then there is no need to bring it up.

If it does bother you this is something you could say to your father. Dad, I'm so thrilled that you have found happiness and companionship with Betty after being such an amazing caregiver to mom for so long. You deserve it.

As I'm sure you're thought of already, when Betty becomes your new wife she will have a lot of authority over things relating to you by law. If you want me to have a say in things like your funeral planning, what happens to you and Mom's house, and general estate planning, I'd encourage you to meet with your lawyer to specify whatever it is you want. I'm guessing Betty has also done this in light of the passing of her first husband.  [/quote]
