Do you plan on cutting your EAC out of your will?

Just curious. I already know I'm cut out of my dm's will as she told me 20yrs ago when we were still talking. She just dropped it into conversation one day that they'd made new wills & everything would be going to her new dh & on his death, to his brother. I was a bit gobsmacked at this at the time because it felt very cold but then that's my mum. I've never asked my siblings how they feel about it, we're all NC with her.

So I'm curious, if your adult DC has cut you off, do you plan on leaving them out of your will or will you still keep them in?

After 20+ years of no contact any changes made to our wills would remain.

When my MIL died last year, we got much less than my husband’s siblings, after having been estranged for many years. We hadn’t expected anything, and were surprised to get what we did. We “ lost “ about £10,000, but felt this was a small price to pay for the years of peace we had, after having spent many years trying to sort things out.
