From the perspective of some, no longer being nice appears as being nasty, especially when viewed out of context. I speak from experience. Fortunately not with my children. I also agree it's a daft system. You should be able to leave your possessions to anyone you choose. You could always go Egyptian style and get them buried with you :D |

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
you can leave what you like to whom you like without contention.. its all to do with how much your willing (see what i did there) to pay for your will and solicitor. a bog standard will costs around Ł400-500, but good proper wills cost Łks.
other things you might like to consider is the costs of carrying out the closure of your estate by your appointee/executor. they need a money pot for things like selling the house, extra funeral costs, death certificates and solicitors fees etc.etc. personally i dont care what happens to my estate when i shuffle off as long as it goes to my family and not the local council. |

Similar circumstances, nasty email exchanges, and she didn't attend my dads funeral, despite the fact she loved my dad a lot. It was the final straw for my mum, as this sister was given much more by my parents, than the rest of us. As the executor of my mum's will I had to deal with giving my sister the news, as my mum hadn't told her of this change. That was my mum's decision, like it or not |

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
My dad changed his will 3 days before he died, instead of the estate going to his children, the lot went to his wife.
They had been together since she was our baby sitter in 1964 and they married in 79. It caused a lot of friction in the family, our inheritance stolen by the woman who had stolen our father. The thing is, whilst my father was wealthy, the source of his business was a loan from my maternal grand father that he never repaid and was recovered by that side of the family not paying out to my mother when he died. 2 of my brothers and my sister have not spoken to "Her" since my father funeral and have a real grudge against me as the executor. They will not understand that in his last days he realised his will made many years ago did not benefit his wife, as it stood she would have inherited a small pension. We his children were all financially independent. We did not need his brass. She needed a home/income. As things now stand, my eldest daughter and I hold power of attorney (well being/financial) for "Her". I am also her executor. I know she has made large loans to her family that were never honored with one nephew saying knock it out of my inheritance, a large loan of several hundred thousand was made to prop up her brother in laws business that went under, they sold the business property and are using that as a pension rather than meeting the company debt. This forcing her to remake her will. I am under instruction that on her death. No one. Neither my fathers family, or her family get into her house. I bet the will, will make interesting reading! Where there is a will, there is a family. Deserving or not! |
