Gosh, I cannot imagine thinking this way at all, so much so that both my husband and I have structured trusts to ensure that if one of us dies, half the estate is immediately put in trust for our kids, even if grown and adult. I’d never exclude my kids the way you have. So cold!

I’m the PP and our trusts are already set up this way. As we age, the percentage increases from half to 60% then increases. Both of us know that if the spouse dies, the older the remaining spouse is the more vulnerable he or she will be to financial manipulation and this set-up is as much to protect assets for kids as it is to protect the remaining spouse from selfish, grabby people like the original PP.

What about his late wife’s personal possessions? Did their children at least get those?
