So DH's biological father died 4 years ago. He was a waste of space and did nothing but cause upset while he was alive.
Dh and I went to the funeral with DH's half brother to put the past to rest and support dh half brother.
At the wake dh met family he had never met before because of the loss of contact growing up, though dh half brother had always been close to this side of the family.
Dh grandfather died last year, dh had become close in the last 4 years after the funeral reconciled them.
We have had the will reading and went along. Dh was not mentioned in the will at all despite it being made in 2017.
Dh brother was left 1000.
Every other grandchild was named and left 2000.
DH's biological father was removed from the will and his third of the estate was given to the two remaining children of the grandfather. There is also a clause in the will that states should his children die - the two it is now shared between- their portion should be given to their own offspring.
So am I right in feeling this is immoral? They've removed dh father line completely out the equation, treated dh half brother differently to the other 4 grandkids and totally pretended dh doesnt exist.
I'm so sad for him. If he had received a split of his fathers share it would equate to 15k which would be lovely but not massively life changing, so it's not about the money. It's a about feeling like he's been shit on again.
We're not going to contest it, I just want to know if I'm being overly emotional or if this is actually a shit thing to do?
