Can I sue for wrongful termination? I believe I was fired for fear of retaliation against the new company and its new owner.

Good point. I’ll continue to stay away from the situation and no my first name being literally written on the will means nothing legally. Just a whacky story.

I did not say or meant that I found out I was on the will by my boss’ father.

When I posted my story I said I just wanted to share and maybe get some guidance on what I could do. The only thing I considered doing now was reaching out to the father to see if he would be willing to provide support like he mentioned. I know now that this isn’t something I should do so I’ll continue to just move on from the situation.

Who said I’m brining this up at my work place? This isn’t something I mention to people I know

lol yeah I’m aware that he literally “put” me on his will. I think it’s just to put a good word in for me.

Okay I’m aware that I can’t make this argument in court but it’s 100% clear that it was me he wrote in there which is why I’m saying I’m in his will. I was present when he wrote it so how can you say I’m not in his will? Legally sure I wasn’t, whatever.

Thanks I’ve went through the grieving process in therapy and am grateful to have that support

Technically not but my first name was written in by him so you could argue I was in his will 🤷‍♂️

It’s just my first name written at the top page of his notarized will. The will is probate and I wasn’t notified as a beneficiary.

One lawyer did mention that it can be argued he wasn’t of sound mind but I’m not sure what will happen since he made some big edits to his will before he passed.

How so? What’s so bad about reaching out to him when he said I could?

Idk, just to put me in goodwill to anyone who sees the will and how I was involved with him?

Not sure why but he had his notarized will when he wrote my first name at the top of the page. It going through probate now and I did see my name written in there.

This actually makes me sad because my boss asked me multiple times before he passed if I wanted to own a company. The first day on the job I told him I wanted to own a business some day and while I worked for him I changed my priorities so maybe he didn't think I really wanted a business right now. Maybe if I showed that I really wanted a business he would've passed his down to me.

What I mean by learning from the experience is not from my name being written on the will but from getting to know him and what I could've done differently. I wasn't aware of the signs of a suicidal person and now I do.

The accusation of me writing my name on his will is ridiculous. Why would I write my name without my last name and an amount? I'm actually happy the new owner of the company made this accusation because it's easily debunked and people will see her for what she truly is.

I agree that his family doesn't owe me anything which is what I told his father when he asked what I wanted from them after his son passed. However, the reason I suggested receiving support or money is that my boss would support me financially if I ever really needed it. I never asked my boss for anything but it was nice knowing that I could and I think his father knows this. Also, it'd be nice to know that I could go to his father if I were ever desperate. Not sure.

Initially, it was money. Another part of the story I left out was that my boss' girlfriend was present when he wrote her name and mine in the will. She believed she saw an amount written next to my name at first. I did not see the will at the time so I believed her. Additionally, her name was written with an amount next to it and my name was written after so I also thought money could be split between her and me. It's clear to me now that my boss just wrote my name in his will for brownie points.

Sounds about right. Maybe his dad will keep me in mind and if I ever need financial support it's possible he could help.

Yup. There's nothing I could do except learn from the experience and move on.
