OP, please let me know if your company is hiring. Because I find it hard to believe someone who is a vice president doesn't have an understanding of basic law.

The fact that you automatically assume they are trying to shut you out indicates you are approaching this issue with negativity and a good bit of paranoia. Especially since you have said they have been generous to you.

As others have mentioned, it could well be they are getting a trust set up and you may be trustee.  Or executor. You are trip-wired to think the worse and are acting out on emotion not logic.

As a VP, you should know that any legal documents sent to you for signature needs a legal review. Or don't they do that at your Fortune500 company?[/quote]

Lady, I didn’t come here for actual advice on what I should or shouldn’t sign and what process I should use to evaluate it once I do receive this document.

Since I don’t have it yet, I came to speculate with internet strangers on an anonymous forum where it’s safe to be emotional about a, well, emotional topic.

And I hustled my ass off to be where I am, not sure why it triggered you so much.

The advantage - and disadvantage of anonymous internet forums is anyone can say anything. Who knows how true it is.

Leaving that aside, I've heard and witnessed enough about family situations to know there is always two sides to a story. If I am skeptical it's because some of the details provided are a bit dubious. And the more dubious details there are, the less likely I am to side with the storyteller. Boarding school at age 10 for disruptive behavior? Oh my! Sob sob. Wait, no. There is an enormous difference between being sent off to boarding school at 14 (and I knew plenty who were) and age 10. There's elements of storytelling in this thread because of how information is doled out to evoke sympathy. If I'm being told that someone was sent to boarding school at age 10 for disruptive behavior and now 30 years later is being asked to sign a notary document affecting an estate, the default assumption is there's a problem with this person, not the parents.

Good luck.

You are making something about “sides” and a “problem” when this story doesn’t call for either.

There is no conflict here or even entanglement between the parties.

And you’re accusing me, the OP, of being paranoid and emotional?

You have a WILD imagination and are clearly one of DCUMs resident crazies. [/quote]
