[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP if you and DH approaching his mother anything close to terming his mother as ‘withholding’ I can see why she’s not sharing any information with you. How does your own will read? Most likely you/your DH have wills that give entirety of your estates to whichever of you isn’t dead. Whether your DH is an only child or one of a dozen-he’s probably not a beneficiary of his fathers will. His mother may also be the executor.

if she’s not sharing and saying it’s impolite it may be that you two are coming off as greedy and entitled [/quote]

[b]OP, why on earth do you think it is any of your business?[/b]

When my dad passed away, it never occurred to me to get involved with his estate.  He left everything to my mom.  Full stop.[/quote]

Because you love your mom and want to make sure she makes sound financial decisions that allow her to live comfortably for the rest of her life and not squander it all in two years and wind up in Medicaid-level care for the remaining years of her life (or drain your own savings to support her after she flushes the money).

That said, you make the offer to help (whether in person or by hiring a financial planner), make it clear the door is always wide open, and then sit back and cross your fingers.[/quote]
