[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a clear indication that you should not count on any sort of inheritance from your dad. It will all go to your stepmom (and to her family). Get used to the idea. [/quote]

This happened to my husband's mother. 2nd wife had the will changed to completely leave out her husband's bio children and grandchildren. He was not mentally incompetent so it could not be overturned. [/quote]

2nd wife cannot do that.  Your FIL did that….seems for good reason.[/quote]

Np they can. Grandpa had it set up that his money went to his wife (stepmom) and then when she passed it was split between his 5 kids. After he died, stepmom changed the will and left all his and her money (she didn’t have any inheritance outside of what grandpa had earned) to her kids. They’d only been married 8 years. [/quote]

I think the way to avoid that is for the grandpa to put the money in trust so that the wife is the beneficiary during her lifetime and the remainder is distributed to his children.  I think a lot of men don’t think about this though.  [/quote]
