TRying to be a bit vague here in case anyone i know reads this,
Briefly, mil died last yr & fil & herself had wrote their will about 6 yrs ago when only 1 gc was born,they have since had 2 more.
DH had to sign a form to act as guarantor (i think thats the term) anyway fil has asked dh to sign something so that fil can change the old will & re-write a new one.
After discussions between them all & sil he agreed to sign & basically all the money that mil wanted to leave dh will now not be given to him.
FIL assured dh before he signed that the money would be put in trust for our ds & sils 2 dc,now he wants to put a lot of money into 1 pot in trust for them & any future gc.
DH is not happy about this at all as fil knows we have got no chance of ever having anymore dc & he can see that our ds' share of the trust fund being eroded.
There is a lot more back story to this that massively favours sil but i cannot go into that on here but believe me this is not sour grapes on our part.
I know fil can now do exactly what he wants as it is his money but what i would like to know is, can anyone tell me anything about trust funds & how they work?
Thanks.
