[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can I just say the people writing here are just idiots? Of course she wants the money to go to the children rather than the already rich new wife! Are you people insane, nuts, or subject to some other impairment? He is 79! Do you really want an inheritance that can change the course of the children's life for the better to be placed on the hands of a late-comer wife that may donate it all to PETA? I don't know what unrealistic, Disney-fied world you children live in, but back in the real world of limited resources and reasonableness of course the 79 should absolutely ensure that the bulk of the estate goes to the grandchildren and not the new wife! Get an estate lawyer and draft a plan![/quote]

As a lawyer (with dead broke parents so no conflict of interest) I agree with this. I think OP and her husband are wise to make sure that, whatever FIL’s wishes, it is reduced to writing ASAP. People engage in magical thinking about this sort of thing and assume it will all work out somehow but the only way for that to happen is for it to be put down in a will. [/quote]

Yeah, but DIL is gonna scream bloody murder when that will gets changed like 6 mos after they get married.[/quote]

Well I’m a lawyer not a psychic with a crystal ball like you. Please post some stock tips in Money & Finance using your ability to predict so far in the future on so little information. [/quote]
