We added a statement in our wills that if anyone, for any reason, contests the will, they are immediately and forever exempt from any proceeds. This was suggested by our trust attorney.

Good news... Hopefully should keep your heirs in line. Bad News... Just another lawyer ploy to increase their chances of further litigation by adding another layer.

[@adverseinperpetuity]

That’s actually really dumb because there are often legitimate reasons to contest the execution of a will. For example if the executor does something that goes against your intentions then it would be valid to challenge it. Or if there is an ambiguity in your will and it’s interpreted against your intentions then it would be valid to challenge. Why would you disinherit someone who challenges something that you would agree with if you were alive?

Kevin, your attorney just opened the door for further litigation which obviously puts more money in his pocket. Think about it.

My aunt passed away, and I inherited part of her portfolio and $2m in cash savings. I'm 28 years old, and everyone always tells me to invest. So, what stocks are excellent long-term investments? My sole big plan is to use my gains to buy a house in five years.

Recall the same dilemma when my parents passed and was just a regular working stiff. With that much you either go to Fisher, Wells Fargo, etc.. and get a financial advisor. Or get an account at E*Trade, Schwab or such and learn. Whichever way you go you have to realize you just got a second job managing that money. Also you are looking for reliable stocks and reliable bonds. Compound interest and steady growth. When offered a ‘deal’ run like the wind. All the best.

Well, sometimes it doesn't, in my country, a will can be contested, and there are other laws that take precedence over a will, when my father died , his 2nd wife basically said she was going to take us to court to get ownership of the house my father left us and this is quite legal, there are provisions in the legal system for spouses, dependants to make a claim on the estate which overrule what is written in the will, so sometimes a will can be worthless unfortunately..... speaking from personal experience

You will find out more about your family in the first month after the death of a loved one than the previous 30-40 years. Sad, but true. In cases such as this, where the will is going to be contentious, folks really need to name their attorney as the executor. Having to deal with guilt trips and bickering with relatives is not a good situation to be in during an emotional time such as the death of a loved one. A few thousand dollars out of the estate to an attorney is money well spent in these cases.

Also a really good realtor (like a Ramsey Trusted one) would guide you and tell you what is best for the condo. Having a rental property is great, but you have get a decent return or it may be better investing the money. They would be able to tell you, sell as-is, rent as-is, or fix up and sell or rent.

If there is money involved, everyone wants it. This man needs to do exactly what his uncle wanted. How can he NOT?

[@warmwomyn]

Ur the trustee go by the trust instructions.

It’s been a year since this video came out. I wonder how this played out for him.

I live in Sweden. You cannot legally disinherit your children. You can give it away while you’re alive but after your death, they are entitled at least 50%.

[@joycewright5386]

Wow! Even if the children had nothing to do with their parents?

[@user-ct1kh2if8j]

About the same in Norway. Here the children are entitled to 2/3.

How fortunate that he was raised by quality adoptive parents versus his birth mother. He mentioned that she had violated many boundaries with him. So she is a user of anyone, even the son whom she gave up as a baby, which is despicable. I would further advise the young man to get this sorry bunch out of his life. They are not his family!

True - his twin had the right instinct - NOT INTERESTED.

Twins should never be split up adopted out to separate families. This blood uncle obviously didn't like what his sister did by giving her twin boys out to be adopted by 2 separate families, - he probably observed much more outrageous behavior. This caller is lucky to have reconnected with his blood uncle and should carry out his uncle's wishes. I am an adoptee due to my blood father deserting my mother. I have met paternal blood relatives who have bad feelings toward the way my blood father left my blood pregnant mother. Please honor the wishes of your real blood uncle

Some people must be loved at arms length.

You should say how to handle No inheritance

[@tonyn3123]

People can leave such a mess for their family when they choose to delegate their assets by will to survivors unevenly. Regardless of how responsible the recipients are, it just leaves a mess for the recipients receiving more than another that can cause more grief than a person can endure in a family. Money and assets are just that. They are worthless to the person that accumulated the assets after they are gone. I have a story that can go on for quite a while about what I witnessed in my wife's family that not only tore the family apart but ended in the stressful death of three sisters. My wife was one of them. Money and assets are just so useless after we are gone. To maintain our lives in our golden years, yes, but after we are gone. they are useless. Don't leave a legacy of uneven love to your children! Thanks.

Just keep the entire estate. It was your Uncle's will for you to have everything.
