[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My father died last year and I got absolutely nothing. We were very close. Everything went to my mother. I haven't lost any sleep over it, I assumed that would have happened anyway.

I don't see how this situation is any different. The surviving spouse got it all.[/quote]

I think there's a difference when not a stepfather who didn't raise you but your own mother (who likely adores you and would save your life over her own) inherits it all. [/quote]
They were married for 33 years. This was not a new spouse.[/quote]

But he didn't raise them; they were adults when their mom married him.[/quote]
Exactly. They were adults. Rich adults. They were not entitled to her estate. It’s perfectly normal that her estate would go to her long-time husband.[/quote]

It just gets weird with stepparents. My mom and stepdad don’t have a lot of money, but most of what they have my mom inherited from my grandmother (my mom was an adult when grandma died). So if my mom leaves that all to my stepdad, who she’s be married to 20+ years, my bother and I receive nothing of my grandmothers estate. And potentially, my grandmothers estate will go to my stepbrother and his kid, both of whom met my grandmother exactly twice. It’s not that I deserve or am entitled to that money (which to be clear, is hypothetical - I doubt there will be much of anything left), but my stepbrother isn’t either.  I would feel pretty bad if that’s where it ended up.

And if my dad leaves everything to my step-mom, who knows? She’ll probably leave it to an animal rescue, which would actually feel better to me than my grandmothers money going to my stepbrother.

I’ve always thought the 50/50 split makes sense - leave 50% to spouse and divide remaining 50% among the kids. Then when spouse dies, even if their 50% goes elsewhere, the kids receive some of the generational wealth.
