[quote=Anonymous]I don't believe that my father purposely disinherited me.  But I do think his wife made sure my brother and I aren't going to get any of his money.  She never liked us and I think she was extremely jealous of the relationship we had with our dad.

My parents divorced when I was a teenager and my mom remarried right away.  She and my step-father set up their wills so that they were each taken care of but whatever was left over once they were both deceased, the money would go to me, my brother and my step-siblings.  The both had irrevocable trusts so no one was left out.  And the surviving spouse couldn't change anything.

My dad and his wife set up a joint revocable trust - my brother and I were listed in his will as a beneficiary if his wife had already passed.  But if she were still alive when he passed, their trust was revocable and she could change anything.   My dad suffered from dementia and I'm pretty sure when the will was created he didn't understand the implications.  My father and I had an excellent relationship and he had always taken care of me and my brother.  I believe that he would have wanted his wife taken care of but once she dies, he would want what was left of his money to go to me and my brother and not her children.  Since she's still alive, I don't know for certain that she changed anything but my instinct tells me she has.[/quote]
