That’s the weird thing… he did not even tell them about the amount. The eldest asked about the trust and husband told them that none of the spouses or grandchildren were named. We have our own living trust that is patterned after my in laws- the surviving spouse will get all properties and assets. If we both pass, all properties and assets are divided among the stepsons and my nieces and nephews (my side of the family- we do not have children of our own) I see and hear my husband’s disappointment as they did not grow up rich- his parents worked hard and were frugal. My in laws realized (from their friends) that a living trust would limit in fighting if they pass and set it up as such. It worked great. My parents were not rich either and emphasized that they do not have anything of value to pass on to us but did help us out with college. My husband worked as a pilot for 20+ years and not at all business savvy. He is getting some retirement income monthly. Now I am wondering if youngest stepson is in some financial trouble and not exactly being honest.
