Where was your dad living at the time of his death, and where is the property? In Louisiana, if dad inherited the property and did not have a will, the property does not go to stepmom.

Money issues will absolutely destroy families and make them all hate each other and never again contact one another.

I guess if they all make it to Heaven, they act like nothing happened and that they were on good terms all along!!

Put up a solar farm or a massive storage facility on your property.

TD;DR: This is an expensive teachable moment for the family but try to find other things that will matter more than money!

There are a handful of people on this board that I would believe/have empathy for. You are at the top of the list. The two sides of my family approach things from opposite directions so I've seen the smart planning vs verbal planning approaches. I hate to see it happen to someone who certainly sounds like an A1 Guy.

My mom is the middle of three siblings (M/F/F) with the other two extremely close and they do everything out of her view. Even as the oldest of my generation I am behind 4 cousins because of it. My mom and I were the last to find out that my aunt (youngest sibling) put my grandma in a nursing home so she could turn a farmhouse (which had been passed from father to oldest son for over 150 years) into a fricking VRBO. We don't expect any type of equitable dispersement when my grandmother passes.

My dad's side has always been well planned. The "money" comes from my grandmother's side of it. After serving at the very end of the Civil War my Great x3 GP settled and acquired a lot of land. He only had one child and my Great x2 GP had two kids. My Great Grandparents had two kids, my grandparents only had two kids, and my my cousin and I are both only children. If the money had stayed together (meaning land not having to be sold to pay off one side) my kids kids would never have to work again. Financial planning has been done across multiple generations... the next generation is "skipped" but holds the keys to the family money until they die.

We've been successful enough to own our house outright before our kids finished school and the family home (about 6 hours away) is already set up to go to my kids. I read about the trouble of the current generation buying homes and am thankful mine have a clear way to each have a home without ever having to deal with a mortgage.

Directly to your post, it's always the people who do not share blood that become a problem. That skipping of generations in my family? One heck of a circuit breaker to avoid such issues. It freaking sucks that people today are willing to lie about such things so the only surefire way to protect yourself now is in writing. (I had a major surgery at 35 which forced me to put on writing EVERYTHING over $100 that should go to reach kid.) And make this a teachable moment for the family.

I think you'd appreciate this. My mom's side? I have what would have been at the top... the flag and letter from Carter the family received when my grandma's dad passed. Aside from land/structures I have my Great x3 GP's honorable discharge paperwork which I would pick over the land if I had to do so.

So a step sister can come put a house right there and enjoy a beautiful pond and clean land all around...



whose property was it that she gets a claim on it? Why would someone who is not blood get the same claiming rights as you had?



Something is not adding up here.
