I hope you can see your way to being a charitable and humane person. The rightful path is clear here, and only you can facilitate it.

It’s not OP’s money to be generous with. If I were OP I would 100% tell them to get lost. [/quote]

I would not want to be a weapon in a dead man’s continuing war on his kids.[/quote]

This. I would give them their part unless they were evil or criminals or something. [/quote]

What constitutes "their part"? And please explain how the OP would give them their "part" when it's not her money to give?[/quote]

+1. How much of the money that OP's children have inherited through a legal trust from their apparently loving grandfather should she drain to send to the strangers who have been writing her nasty emails? How much of her own money would you like her to put into hiring a lawyer to break the trust to accomplish this in contravention of the grantor's intent? Or perhaps you are suggesting that the decedent's grieving widow should give up the money that she inherited from her husband of 20 years?[/quote]

+ one million, and thank you!

The people suggesting that she comply with an equitable distribution either; don't have good reading comprehension, know less than nothing about wills or trusts, or are only thinking with their hearts -- and that's easy to do when it's someone else's money you're talking about (let's see what happens when it's YOUR money they come looking to split 5 ways instead of 1).

But as the PP so eloquently stated.... all of that is IRRELEVANT, as the OP wasn't left any money, her children were AND they can't access that money until they're 21, yet they're only early teens now.

So please, do tell... how would you suggest the OP accomplish giving them their "part"? 🤔

Btw, I know you *think* you'd be doing the right thing in this situation, however it's actually quite immoral & unethical to blatantly go against the deceased wishes for the distribution of their estate.

It was HIS money, HE decided what HE wanted to do with it, and HE chose not to leave it to him bio children for whatever reason... it's NOT your job to then go completely against his final wishes and distribute monies from his estate to people he didn't plan for.

You wanna do that?

Now THAT is something I would definitely contest, especially if I found out that you were going against his final wishes.
I'd be sure to flush even more of the estate down the drain on lawyers, just so they could paper them with motions & argue in court for years.
I'd do it knowing the litigation is baseless too.

THAT'S how offensive I find this idea of going against the deceases final wishes to be.
