[quote=Anonymous]I'd be concerned if my father was getting married so soon especially if he had a high net worth. Sadly, both widows and widowers can be preyed on but certainly that might not be the case here. I would definitely want to have a discussion about his will and estate planning including a discussion of your mother's will and what was her intent. She would likely want her assets to first go to your father and then to you but if your father changes his will it might not go to you. It's his money and he has every right to do with it what he wants but he could be taken advantage of and that's what you need to help protect him from. One thing he could do is to set up an irrevocable trust where you and your siblings are the beneficiaries but he could use the funds during his lifetime to meet his needs. That money technically remains outside his estate and outside his will.

You need to have an unemotional discussion with your father about what his real desires are and then assist him, with the support of an estate planning lawyer, in putting them down on paper. [/quote]
