[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If she’s already preventing him from seeing his children and grandchildren at Christmas, the war is over and you lost. The inheritance is gone. There’s nothing you can do at this point.[/quote]

Agree.

She got my mom's house, that was paid off the month after she died, by her earnings while my dad spent, spent, spent.

That one stings tge most.  Not because the house has a lot of value, but because it was the house we grew up in and our mom paid for, working even when her health was failing so the house would be paid off.

2nd wives suck.[/quote]

So, to women who make bank, instead of paying off the house, put the money in a brokerage account that only you control, and give it directly to your kids at death. Your spouse can have the mortgaged house. [/quote]

Or set it up in a trust. Husband and wife jointly own and if one dies it goes to the other. If both die, it goes to their children and not any future spouses.

My family is dealing with this now. My mom is sick. My dad is wonderful, but he absolutely will remarry (he's kind, good looking, loves being married, and is incapable of cooking or cleaning). My mom wants to protect her assets (and assets she inherited) from a future wife. [/quote]

I could totally see my husband giving it away to his next wife or other family members.  He gets our mortgaged house and my 401k.  Everything else goes directly to my kids in a testamentary trust with my sibling, not my husband, as the trustee.  [/quote]
