Sticky situation - or potentially one. DS is divorced - one DGS. Amicable and we have very good relationship with ex. We have discussed our wills and estate plans with our solicitor. Ex DIL has no parents, no property, no assets. We want to ensure that DS inherits our estate and, after him, our DGS. So far, not an problematic issue and we know DS will not neglect his ex especially for the sake of his son. However, solicitor explains that should we both pass and DS also happen to pass while DGS is a minor, we should put the estate in a trust so he inherits at an appropriate age. Solicitor says ex DIL should NOT be custodian of the estate because it should be a person who cannot in any way profit from the inheritance and can ensure it’s used appropriately - for education, housing, etc. It seems insulting to our ex DIL to suggest that she shouldn’t be in charge but solicitor - as many of her ilk have - has seen terrible situations such as the second spouse of a divorced in-law getting their hands on assets meant for a child’s benefit. DS has said he will discuss with his ex, although appointing a custodian is strictly our choice. DS is an only, so no sins to take on this role. Also I believe DS and ex have yet to appoint a guardian for DGS in the event we cannot take him, although ex has a sister who’d fill the role gladly. Thoughts and experiences welcome!!
