Over the course of the past few months that I've been a member of Gransnet,I've come to value the good advice given to those who ask for it.
I am in dire need of some of that good advice now. My problem is this...and please forgive the lack of sutelty :-
I detest my daughter's husband . I cannot even bring myself to say SIL!
I won't bore you all with the details because the problem lies with the future,not the past. Specifically,my will and how to protect my daughter's future financially.
I am 71 this year and in increasingly bad health,so feel that time is of the essence.
My will leaves everything to my daughter and,should she predecease me ,to my grandson by her first marriage.
I strongly believe they will separate or divorce in the future but, should I die before that happy event, I presume he would be entitled to half my daughter's estate on the event of a divorce.
Frankly, I cannot allow that to happen. They have been married for 18 months. Financially he brought nothing to the marriage and for the last 15 months doesn't even have a job.
I'm wondering if one way out of this dilema is to leave my house to my grandson,with the proviso that my daughter be allowed to live in it for as long as she wanted. They live in rented accommodation now.
In a nutshell,that's my problem. Your advice would be greatly appreciated,even if you think I'm completely wrong.
Is there such a thing as delicious ready meals?
