DP and I have been together for 8 years and live together. We live in my house with my DD and his home is rented out. He has a grown son who lives in Ireland from a college relationship. They have minimal contact and meet about once a year when DP visits his parents. DP's son only contacts him when he needs money. They are not close e.g D P only learned son was engaged through Facebook ( a week after he'd called looking for money which DP duly sent) and doesn't expect we will be invited to the wedding. DP and I intend retiring together living in my home in about 8 years. . It's my view that our assets should pass to one another if one of us dies and then to our dependant's ( my DD AND DP's son) after the surviving partner passes. However DP is in the course of drafting his will to leave his house to his son and his pension to his sister. He says I don't need the money but if anything happened to him ( besides being devastated - obs) my comfortable retirement would be affected. AIBU to think we should look after one another first and both our children afterwards and that a sister should merit some benefit in a will but not at the expense of your partner? no desire to rob DP's son of his birthright I just think couples should share their assets and leave money to others afterwards.
