[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tell him dating and cohabitating is fine but don't get married.  Check on wills/trusts and [b]if he does get married insist on a pre-nup. [/b] [/quote]

It's not the adult child's prerogative.    It's the Dad's decision to make.

My Dh's dad got engaged just a few months after Dh's mom died.   Dh's sister tried to insist that FIL get a prenup but FIL refused.  Nothing his adult kids could do about it.[/quote]

My FIL also married a new woman less than a year after MIL died. It was really insane how quickly he moved on. Realistically, this also means his kids have no inheritance anymore because he married without a prenup and she’s likely to outlive him.

At the time she was bankrupt from her divorce and FIL was about to retire comfortably. In the years since, she’s done a lot to show us that if he dies first, his money is going to her and her kids. The thing that gets me is that MIL was so frugal saving throughout her life. Now, her life savings is all going to this random bankrupt woman.

Moral of the story: Create a family trust BEFORE you think you need one. [/quote]
