I can’t quite believe this situation. My FIL moved in with another lady after his divorce, who he lived with for 35 years, in her apartment. He funded their lifestyle, and to some extent that of her daughters. We have seen them on rare occasions, always on her terms and we always had to pay. In 35 years, we have had no more than a cup of tea from them. Over the last few years FIL has been in hospital a lot and out of the blue, a few weeks ago we were told they didn’t want him back and he was homeless. We then learnt he had never had his own bank card and had no clue where any of the money went. He wished to change his will, but sadly he died before the solicitor visited him in hospital to sign it. So yes his ex is the executor of the will and gets everything. We had already told him we didn’t want the money, but it would be nice to leave money to his grandchildren.
My husband was called when he died, having spent time with him in his final days. My FIL finally realised how badly he had been treated and how he had neglected his son.
This cow controlled all his money and then in the end dumped him, when he was at his most vulnerable. I expect there is very little left.
i am not sure if I need advice. But I am very annoyed.
