[quote=Anonymous]Np, Our situations are so nearly identical that I had to read it carefully to ensure I didn't write it. I have yet to go through all the pages, but so far, I see that you are catching a lot of flack. Chin up--your feelings are entirely normal.

My parents were married for 45 years at the time of my mom's death. He remarried after nearly seven years. He and the woman did not cohabitate; she lives in another state. I've met her a few times and don't care for her, but I took delight in not having to engage with her much.

I was also worried about inheritance issues, but my dad took extreme care with keeping all finances separate and in a trust. I warned him that I did not trust her, and rightfully so. He died a few months ago, and within less than 18 hours of his death, she inquired about his estate and felt entitled even though they never lived together and had no joint property/accounts.

I recommend sticking to your druthers and trusting your instincts because I was right about mine. If your dad has any money, even a dollar, she will feel entitled to it if they marry.[/quote]
