I think he really wanted to make sure his wife (my stepmom)was taken care of. She is also not well. I don't have a problem with her care it just seems unfair that her kids get as much as I do...I'm an only child and my mom passed 17 yrs ago her kids barely ever visited or knew him.. [ Reply | More

np I'm very sorry for your loss, but I think you need to let this go. He did what he thought he needed to do to care for his wife. Not sure he could leave $$ to her and then give it back to you after she dies. I'm sure this is difficult but try to see it from his perspective. Maybe it's kind of a complement in that he thinks you can take care of yourself [ Reply | More

nnp. I believe he could have made sure the assets went only to OP after her step-mother's death by setting up a trust. [ Reply | More

I don't think anyone has a right to inherit anything. He left his money the way he wanted to, obviously. Sucks for you. [ Reply | More

I'm so sorry. I agree with the poster who said to wait a bit and let it sink in. Unless you think he made that will under duress, I'm not sure what basis you would contest it on, though. [ Reply | More

sorry for your loss. i dont think it is worth it to contest. the only ones to gain are the attorneys if you do. you will inherit, just not now and not everything you hoped for. count your blessings instead. [ Reply | More

This is going to happen to me as well. It sucks but Ive looked in to it, NOTHING you can do. Very sorry for your loss but try to move on and be grateful you had him and got to know him and the other kids didnt have that benefit. [ Reply | More

Do you think that he signed the will when he was in an altered state or he was under duress? Or do you just disagree with his decision? [ Reply | More

I guess i just disagree with his decision. I understand him wanting to make sure his wife is taken care of, but including her kids and their share being equal to mine just seems like a slap in the face to me..it just hurts.. [ Reply | More

NP he left a trust which she can live off of until she passes and then is split amongst the grandkids. its very common. It could have been A LTO worse. he could have left his whole estate to her, and then she would never have seen a penny. [ Reply | More

It sounds like the will accurately reflected his wishes for the allocation of his assets. You don't seem to have a basis to contest it. Let it go. Just grieve your dad's passing and forget about the money. [ Reply | More
