A Legal Will Mess with Daughter...advice PLEASE
[Replies:
3]
I'm grateful to have found this community, especially at this time.
I need advice desperately regarding my daughter who is 39 and the writing of my Legal Will.
13 years ago I married her stepfather, a loving honest man who has done more than his share to help her in all ways. He has been good to me and is my right arm -- much needed now since only 6 months ago I was operated on for a Brain Tumor. Because of this health condition, we both made out our wills.
My daughter, married and the mother of my only grandchild, also brought up the topic of the wills. She wanted to know if she were to get 'her' share if I died.
Presently, my will leaves the home, our major asset, to my husband. My husband has a will leaving all he has, including the house to me. If I am not around, it would have all gone to my daughter.
This information was shared with her less than 2 months after my operation, and at that time I was not able to walk or drive.
I never thought I'd see what I did -- she became enraged, demanded that the deed on the house be changed so that upon my death, when my husband moved, he would be obligated to give 1/2 the estate to her immediately.
The reason I was given for this was that 'her stepfather' could get married and change his will at any time. She feels since she is my only blood offspring, she is justifiably entitled to the half that was mine.
The situation became so heated, with demanding emails hitting my husband and my email boxes daily for a month, that we sought the doctors advice. My emotional health was being worn down.
Now, six months later, she will barely talk to me. She says I am not the kind of mother she admires and I am cheating her out of what is rightly hers.
Both my husband and I are heartbroken. We live close to them, and have only seen our grandchild twice since I came home from the hospital.
The wills remain as they are stated above. Question is: Does my daughter have a valid arguement for our having our deed and wills changed allowing her to get her inheritance when I die.
I am hurting and very confused, and need solid advice.
