[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here- thanks for the helpful comments. The details about the social security payment timing were really helpful. That could make a real difference with this estate.

DH has continued to receive texts from DD1 asking him to agree to paying off car.  DD1’s daughter really wants to keep the car apparently. So that may be driving that.  I’m not sure of how they plan to split the car with the other grandchild who is son of DD2. And now after DH has been supporting DD1 staying in the house, she announces she may want to sell. But not right now. I can’t keep up and I really don’t care.

To the PP who talked about grieving the family DH wishes he had- that is so accurate. This has brought up a bunch of stuff and reminded us of why we have kept our distance/ boundaries over the years. It’s like watching all of the troubling behavior be repeated all at once. Intellectually Inknow that grief/ sadness in men can often look like anger. But it’s hard to be around.

I guess the bright side is that this situation has encouraged my parents, my brother and me to talk again about the plan for how everything will be allocated when they pass.  It is such a sad but important conversation.

My DH has also realized that he wants to try to leave something to each of our kids equally. So we will need to discuss updating our estate planning to include a life insurance policy. Up until now we’ve had term life just in case we died with kids at home.

And I’m not sleeping, so here I am on DCUM. Just ugh.[/quote]

You may also want to think about what happens with the car while this all gets settled. Is someone driving the car? What happens if there's an accident and the other person who was willed the car gets nothing?[/quote]
