The question of what people should do with your belongings once youre gone is as old ashumanityitself.
For a long time, possessions were passed from generation to generation.
Perhaps, that was an easier way to do it.
However, the man thinks otherwise, leaving the couple in a sticky situation.
Both the man and the woman have adult children, 28 and 27 years old respectively.
The argument between the partners unfolded as they were talking about inheritance and writing their wills.
The man believes that the house theyre living in should be left in its entirety to his son.
A part of the mortgage was paid by the wifes life insurance as well.
So in terms of mortgage, the current partner didnt contribute at all.
However, this argument didnt come across well to the woman.
OPs rebuttal is that the house should at least be split 25/75, or ideally 33/66.
Heres thecatchthough the woman admitted that there was one thing clouding her judgment.
The mans son recently inherited 7 figures, which he used to purchase a house immediately.
In her own words, I know that technically isnt relevant but it certainly influences how I feel.
The ladys dispute is a good example of why wills and discussions of inheritance should be held.
Its not an accident thatwillsin current times are protected and enforced by law.
Testaments help to streamline the process and ensure that the subjects interests are protected even after passing.
Now back to the story!
