If someone has wishes like this, why would they not just arrange it?

Your father has the ability to arrange for this now while he is living.

Nah, a lot of times they’re just another POS who inherited from the person above them. But rather than saving some for the next guy in line they blow it.

That's when you challenge validity of a will but it is costly. Was he of sound mind and body? Did he have a prior will and did she influence him to change it to her being beneficiary?

Doesn't anyone remember all the BS with Tom Benson's kids fighting with Gayle Benson?

Are you a bad person for “expecting” some inheritance from a wealthy family member

Expectations lead to disappointment, don't ever expect to get someone else's money, especially if you didn't do any work to earn it.

Are you a bad person for “expecting” some inheritance from a wealthy family member if you have a good relationship with them? I say frick no. It’s a common practice in most societies for many centuries. Apparently many on this site think you’re a piece of shite if you think a family member’s money or property should go to their children or grandchildren instead of it going to their new young wife.

Idk about bad person, but you’re absolutely probably an overly entitled person.

Expecting wealth from others that you did nothing to earn is douchey. Anticipating it is one thing. Feeling like it’s owed to you or having a strong opinion on where it goes (excepting special family heirlooms or property etc) is trashy IMO.

Bad, no. An a-hole, yes. No one owes you anything. You should be telling them to enjoy what they earned and hope that their last check should bounce.

They are a POS.

My kids' maternal grandfather was a very wealthy man. He was married to a woman his age who was a very wealthy woman.

When he died he did not leave his children or grandchildren a dime. He could have left the grandkids a college education without noticing it was gone from the estate.

The new wife, already a millionaire, got it all. She had another man moved into the house in 3 months after he died.

My ex-wife and her sister did not really care, they have their own lives. Their Dad abandoned them for years, but they forgave him, and accepted him back into their lives. They were not surprised when he turned his back in his will. My ex SIL said, "I would have rather had the time we missed with him as children, than his money now that he is dead."

They were pissed that he ignored the grandkids. He always talked to a good game about the grandkids, but in the end he was still Fred the a-hole.

That's okay, Fred, you cantankerous old bastard. The grandkids made it without you or your money.

If you’re wealthy, there’s basically three types of family members you will have.

Ones that love you for who you are and enjoy spending time with you, and truly love you, but deep down inside, expect some inheritance from you.

Ones that don’t really love you, but treat you well because they’re hoping to get some inheritance if they kiss your arse enough.

And lastly, ones that don’t like you and treat you like shite, but still expect some inheritance because “they’re family


Don't forget the ones who walked away because you treated them like shite. They don't want or expect a thing from the parent.

A true family draws up a family trust to avoid playing stupid games.

If my wife died and I chose to get remarried (which I highly doubt) it would be with the understanding that assets brought into the marriage wouldn't be going to members of the other's previous family, including the new wife. In writing.

Edit: Where I'm going to struggle is how much to give my kids. One is married to a honky rich dumbass who chewed through a six figure settlement like water through a sieve. Not a chance in hell I give him a six figure inheritance to piss away again on toys.

I'm going to settle on a decent amount and then donate the rest to other institutions.

I’ve never inherited anything. Don’t expect to. If I get something then that’ll be a nice surprise.
