[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 744277, member: 18516"] I think it's probably best for you to sit with this for a few days before making any changes. My husband and I are leaving everything to our grandchildren - the children my son has abandoned. Our will specifically states that our son is to receive nothing. We have everything in our trust. Should things with my son change for the better, we can always include him but it would be a small amount. My attitude is this, I've worked too hard for what I have and the way my son is now, well he'd blow through it without a care. Before we did our wills we thought long and hard about it. We also have not told our son. On direction from our lawyer, people should not feel obligated to tell their children what's in their wills. She said "it's none of their business until it needs to be their business". She also said the only time you share with a child is if they will be the executor and even then, you do not disclose what's in it as they will find out eventually. [/QUOTE]
