My FiL has about 500 acres worth about 3/4 a million. I love that man dearly but I make sure and stay out of succession talk. I'll listen and respond when asked questions.
He tries to include me but I don't feel right giving my opinion when her brother and her are still in the picture. As committed as I am to my wife, I don't think I have a right to opine until we get there and I'm still in the picture.
BiL and I get along great and I don't foresee any problems when it comes to working that all out, but I don't like to get involved right now.
I knew months before grandpa passed that I would be his Executor, basically I knew what the will said as well. I took care of him for the last 5 years of his life. prepared his meals, paid his bills, the wife and I cleaned his house and did his yard work, he wasn't capable and my aunts weren't willing (my mother and father helped as much as they could but I'm retired while they still work I know crazy right? LOL) so I did the bulk of it, and was happy to do so because I loved and admired that man.
Anway, I didn't foresee any problems with my aunts and their husbands and kids either, but god damned were their problems. I literally had to tell my cousins they could not be taking stuff out of the house the day of the funeral. They were prepared to strip the place bare. Grandpa had an old 1971 Chevy p/u nothing fancy was in pretty poor shape, that truck was promised to me when I turned 16. I just love the old truck, it's the same age as me and my grandpa bought it brand new, I learned to drive on that old truck. It always set in his garage with the key in the ignition. Yep you guessed it, caught a cousin trying to drive off in it same day as funeral "oh I just wanted to see how it drives" .
Point is, family gets greedy when it comes to these things.
