[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DH and I both have divorced parents that range in age from 82-86.

The range of expected combined inheritance across the group of them is 2-10 M (this is my best ballpark for purposes of this thread based on possible spend down for health care and market losses for the one who is an aggressive investor)  [b]Both dads are pretty sturdy and have significantly younger wives, which will likely reduce their need to use assisted living.[/b]   Both moms have lost their partners to death and are extraordinarily stubborn and living independently.

I think of it as money, if it occurs, that we can use to help our kids get a strong financial start.  Not counting on it, hoping this will not be soon but realize they are getting older.

We continue to fund our own retirement.  There was a point when we moved a substantial part of our investment dollars towards college because we felt comfortable with where retirement was going.[/quote]

The fact that you think the existence of these younger wives is a money-saving mechanism that is preserving some portion of your inheritance is either funny or sad, depending on how much you need the money.  You aren't getting anything from the remarried daddies; time to start being more grateful for your "extraordinarily stubborn" mom and MIL.[/quote]
