Not a taat but the thread about the grandmother's will has got me thinking...
As executors of dh's grandparents' wills, we are privy to the contents. They are cutting out their only child (dh's mum) due to nc. Instead their wills split everything equally between dh ( their only other living blood relative) and his half sister, his dad's daughter, to whom they are only related through their estranged daughter's marriage.
aibu to be a bit surprised? Before i get flamed, i should say that i absolutely think that it is their right to give their assets to whoever they choose, we love his half sister and wouldn't begrudge her a penny, and the estate will not be significant. They have obviously seen each other at family events (eg our wedding, our children's birthdays/ christenings) but due to the long term estrangement with their daughter this is not frequent, and i do not think they have any other contact. Fwiw, i think it is lovely that they are obviously trying to be "fair" whatever that is, but i was wondering if this is usual?
AIBU?
step children and inheritance?
