Please find a lawer and ask your friends and relatives for help.

Its a real tricky spot i dont know how hard i can fight this one or how much im willing to.

Its a reasonable amount of money at stake here, its certainly not millions. Its interesting to hear peoples thoughts in general, are we supposed to fight hard to make sure we get our inheritance or should we just make our own way in life and anything from parents is a bonus?

You should make your own way in life and don't plan too much according to your inheritance but if you should get something and it is stolen from you you can fight to get it but fight in order to get it fast and easily to avoid a long battle that will hurt you and your opponents

Time is on our side, yes it is!

I'd say your better off calling different law firms and speaking with them about the issue and not people on this forum. It's ok if your looking for general feedback but don't take to much stock in the posts you read on this thread. Hope your able to find some kind of balance legally.

I know most of us are very friendly and are willing to give advice, but this one is not for us, even if one of us is a lawyer, we couldn't answer your question and there is probably a lot more to it. Like others have said, go to a family lawyer/ probate type, and ask them..

I am a lawyer but he still needs to a see a lawyer. There are many questions that still need to be answered. The big problem is that it's the dad's decision. And I'm sorry to say, if he says he trusts the new wife there's nothing you can do. You will have to get him to sign any document that deals with his wealth so that's step 1 for you, to convince him to go with you to a lawyer.

This is the land of wolves now & you're not a wolf

Everything should be set up in a trust (prior to anyone passing away), so that there are detailed guidelines of the steps that should follow if someone were to pass away.

You should seek advice from a trust attorney...This will cost a few thousand...which is far less than the money that would be lost if something would have to go through probate...

I suggest asking for advice on this topic over at 4chan. They're very helpful over there.

Hi

The Legal subforum is really for BTC related questions. I would recommend consulting an estate lawyer to give you advance on our particular specific situation.

There are family type lawyers, that work on exactly this kind of thing. Sometimes they double as your go-to lawyer for other stuff, like businesses or "insurance" or other "unexpected" situations.

My own dad has one on retainer just so he can watch over some land. (titles, tax declarations, etc.)

Situation: (uk location)

Parents divorced long time ago, Dad has a new wife (long time ago). Dad is 2 decades older than my step mum so would likely die before step mum. In his will i am a substitute executor of his entire estate. My step mum is executor. In step mum will i am executor of her estate.

I told my dad....if it was his intention (he says it is after both him and step mum die) to leave me his estate (money is largely his) i feared the step mum will could be changed for whatever reason if he was to die first. - which it can right?

I asked for stipulations to be made so that after his death the step mum cannot radically alter her will. Do such stipulations even exist ?

Get a lawyer, now.

You should buy a few lawyers books, read the laws about inheritance in the UK then go see two different soliciters and then read the laws again

Yes agreed, you need to see a lawyer about this. There are ways to do it but it will require a lawyer. One tough thing for you is, he says he trusts her now (obviously he would) but people can change their minds...I mean what if your step mom doesn't like something you do after your dad dies? She can just not give you stuff because it would all belong to her at that point (unless you change something now while dad's alive). Or what is step mom gets remarried and there are other kids? Not fun to think about but that's why talk to a lawyer.

He should speak with an estate planner-type lawyer. Tell him to inquire about an irrevocable TRUST to protect the assets he wants you to have. Then she cannot change her mind.

Thanks!

At the moment he has told me he trusts her so its no problem : /. Why wasnt bitcoin invented earlier!

Um ... go to a real life lawyer that you can meet in person about this. That's my advice.

I'd rather gather as much information as i can first, its also a very tricky subject to bring up i want to know what im talking about best i can.
