My husband has terminal cancer. We were married five years ago, second marriage for both of us. When we had our will made, we divided everything equally between his two " adopted" adult daughters and my two biological children. In recent months his adult daughters have proven without a doubt that all they are after is money. His, mine and whatever they can get their hands on. I recently found out that they were foster children that he took in as teenagers and were never legally adopted. He refuses to change the will. My mother is very concerned about my future inheritance from my family, getting into the hands of these two woman. Any suggestions? I actually considered divorce.
Estate planning for second marriages with children are always difficult. I am not understanding how you describe the will here. Do each of you inherit from each other, then the various children inherit from the survivor? I am assuming that is the case but not sure the way you state this question. If that is the case, when he dies, yes, you can change your will and leave everything to your children or whoever you wish.
