[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, do not respond to them. The last thing you want is that if this goes to some kind of litigation with them contesting the will, your words to be used against you. (It's like a Miranda warning -- anything you say WILL be used against you. If you even say you're sorry and you "understand" their frustration, that will be twisted into you "admitting" that they are in the right.)

You don't need to lawyer up until they indicate they are pursuing legal action, unless it's going to make you feel better to talk to a lawyer to advise you about the various scenarios.

I really don't understand the PPs who think it's somehow obvious that you need to cut this man's kids in. You don't know them and it was his money. And the fact that they are harassing YOU over it certainly doesn't paint them in a positive light. Besides, his disinheriting them was itself a big middle finger to them. It's not like they'll forgive it if you give them money. So it sounds like a pure shakedown, and unless you encouraged your stepdad to disinherit, you have nothing to be ashamed about.[/quote]

Right, if they felt wronged the thing to do is contest the will through legal avenues not harass this woman because her children just happened to inherit. [/quote]
