I agree with your assessment. All kids of dad should get a share, regardless of the mother.

Have you ever heard of an estates attorney?
Why people come to OT with realistic and comprehensive legal issues is beyond me.
It's more so a "hey look at me and my life" post that anything else.

Sounds like she's entitled to 50% according to law then the kids divide the rest
I don't know how someone can be dumb enough to die without this worked out

believe Louisiana has forced heir ship laws where you cant prevent a legal child from getting a part of the inheritance
Louisiana no longer has a forced inheritance law except for those under age 18 or with significant disability.

The only correct answer here is hire a lawyer

Wait, were C & D your dad's biological children and he allowed them to be adopted by their later stepdad or were they Wife 2's kids by another man and your father adopted them? If C & D were his kids he gave up, then it seems like they have no claim on his estate. If he adopted them, then they should be considered equal to his other biological children.
And what about all that "family land" that you live on that has been in the family for generations and you're trying to keep your son's baby mama from getting her hands on?
I'm so confused 'cause I can't keep the family saga story lines straight. I guess I need to continue to tune in for next week's episode...

I would agree with those who have stated the wrecklessness of NOT having a will made out. It is actually one of the better gifts one can leave for their family to cut down on the fighting.
My father refused to do a will and while alive actually told my now ex-wife that he was just going to let the two boys fight it out. I have resented him over that decision as it resulted in many years of unnecessary fighting as the other sibling wanted everything. Took a couple of lawyers to get through that. Destroyed whatever slim chances there were for a constructive relationship. Then again, said sibling is such an a-hole that his own son can't wait for him to die. Said sibling is now 72.

I, essentially, agree with your sister.
Wife 3 and those set of kids should get nothing, as they've already received a settlement and will split the land and what not. C and D kids should get a much smaller amount than you and A, as they'll be entitled to their new fathers inheritance. I'm thinking like 80/20, 90/10, somewhere around there.

I agree and so amend
Whatever share is due to the kids now should be equal in my opinion.

Dumb. This is a straight intestacy case governed by statute.

personal injury funds are separate property of the injured spouse. if not addressed in the will, sounds like acknowledged kids should split.
Uh oh. A wrench just got thrown in dis bitch. What is the settlement compensating him for? Loss wages? Pain and suffering?
Also, why are we talking about the two children giving anything back? The man got a portion of the settlement while he was alive. Before death, he and his family spent the shite. I don't think the op meant that his settlement was split between wife 3 and the 2 kids.
We need more info:
- will?
- ages of children
- THE MOTHER frickIN' STATE
- and pictures
Ok. Maybe we don't need the last one.

Well, this is my area of practice, just not in LA

You may need to get an attorney involved in all of this!
Posted on 8/10/15 at 5:04 pm to gingerkittie
Louisiana has a forced heirship law that applies if any of the children are under 24 or disabled. You really need to consult a Louisiana attorney. Why do people leave messes like this when they die?
