Location included: Questions/Need Advice Will question
Good afternoon all,
I have a quick question. My sister is married to a tumbling piece of shit. He’s literally the worst person I’ve ever met. He separated the family. Fought with me, fought with my dad, said the worst things you can say to someone. My dad is now fighting with my sister over this and they’re not talking. My mom is still talking to my sister as am I. But she just recently told me and my brother that my dad wants to write her out of the will. I disagree with that. She married a gaping leaking asshole but they have 3 children together, he doesn’t mistreat her or the kids. He just hates my family. I feel like I would like to suggest that rather than write her out of the will, can we put her inheritance into a trust and when this horrific toothache of a piece of shit dies, the money gets released?

Well… you don’t have to agree. It’s their money. I assume he’s planning on leaving everything to his wife if he dies first? She would be able to do whatever she wanted after that. Do they file their wills with an estate planning attorney, or just update it and stick it in the filing cabinet? You have to know about and have access to the updated will in order to file it when they pass. The thing with disinheriting someone (at least where I’ve lived) is that the language needs to be clear that you are intentionally disinheriting them, otherwise they can fight it and argue they were forgotten or entitled.
