talking about wills
Quote From: susihomeI have never in my life heard someone discuss a wil before the person is even dead. In fact she looks very healthy to me. The daughter will just not leave it alone. A person can give their money,land, and possessions to whoever they want. As for the rift in the relationship my own daughter has told me to stay away from the grandchilden. Believe me I don't cross the line because she could keep the little ones away from me indefinitly. You should not have brought in the granddaughter. You know she didn't bring up the will unless her mom and dad did. I have two teenage grandchilden and wills are the last thing on their mind. Please don't think that I think your wrong,you know better then me, but I can see how the mother feels. So I guess I am on the mother's side. TJ Powers regardless of who's right or wrong in this case, people do sometimes discuss a will long before the person dies, but ususally, it's the older person himself/herself who brings it up. why? often to reassure their young adult kids that there's money coming "down the road" or to discuss complicated details, if any. sometimes they even ask a son or daughter's advice or preference as in "would you rahter have the condo or the money?" they don't have to ask, of course, but sometimes, they do. oh, also, b/c sometimes they want to check that the person htey appoint as executor is willing to take on that responsibility.
oh, but wait -- sonja, the mother is the one who brought up the will -- but to tell lisa she's not gettting anything,to "get back" at lisa for whatever wrongs she (sonja) feels lisa has done to her. but that's besides the point here. my point is that it's not all that unusual for people today to discuss wills early on but ususally for more positive reasons.
