[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think your father *has* to split the money, but it sort of violates the spirit of your Granfather's wishes. We ran into a similar situation with my FIL. He lived with, but never married, a woman for 20 years after my husband's mother passed. To us in all intents and purposes she was his wife. He adjusted his will after conferring with his 2 children, so that she was given all his retirement and other assets. A year after he passed another, apparently forgotten, stock account was found for about 100K (how you forget that I don't know, but it was and was not included in the will). My husband gave his half to my (what we consider) MIL. His sister balked initially although she eventually came around. The spirit of  my FIL wishes was that MIL get everything to make sure she was taken care of. She worked all her life as a secretary so has some cash of her own and a pension (not a ton), and their condo is paid for. She has no children, is in her 80s and to be honest we'll get whatever is left anyway, but the point was he wanted her to have it and we wanted to honor that. [/quote]
