mum's just written her will and has informed all her daughters and sons that if they die after her but before their children have grown up, the proceeds of her will can only be accessed by her grandchildren on turning 21. So, essentially, if I'm alive, I receive my share and use it to benefit my family. If I'm dead, my dh gets nothing - despite the fact that he will have 2 very young dds to bring up). Is this how it usually works then?
I'm surprised as it somewhat questions earlier statements by her that once married, our spouses are part of the larger family. They're clearly not if her natural son/daughter dies though! I know - of coure - that it's her money, and she can do what she likes. It isn't a hige amount anyway..I was just taken aback that she's excluded spouses. Is this what other families do?
