[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Letters like this are the reason I hesitate to have my ex as the executor and trustee of my estate.  (even though it would be easiest, since our daughter gets the bulk of my estate.)  It would piss me off if some woman married him, got to raise my kid and took the money I worked for my whole life and spent it on her own kids.  F that.[/quote]

Have some trusted relative serve as the trustee.  Unfortunately, men lose any backbone and the path of least resistance to disappoint/let down their children is chosen over standing up to the new wife.  [/quote]

This. My best friend is my executor with one of my brother's as backup. I saw the handwriting on the wall with my ex early on. (My kids have already inherited real estate and small bequests from other family and my ex tries to reduce his CS accordingly.)[/quote]

Yeah - they can try that but it's illegal.

Nice to set up trusts. We are doing that and none of us plan on even dying soon (but we have a special one so it's doubly necessary for him but all are getting one). [/quote]
