Advice from Amy Dickinson.
My mother recently died, and I’m expecting a relatively substantial inheritance from her .My mother originally told me she intended to halve the inheritance between my brother and me when he was still alive, but after he died, she then decided to pass her entire inheritance to me, giving nothing to her grandchildren .My beloved brother always believed in fairness, and to me my mother’s favoritism is unacceptable.
The problem is that my control freak, anxiety-ridden husband of 40 years, who feels we need more money , has told me what he intends to do with the inheritance.He wants to keep and invest it all, and to give a tiny amount to my sweet nieces, who were written out of the will. So let’s assume that this is your money, and you have the right to spend it as you wish. If your husband inherits money, he will have the right to use it as he wishes.
This leaves half of this “substantial inheritance” for you to use as you want — or as your husband wants, if you choose to share it with him.John wants me to live with him his home, but he still has wedding portraits and lots of pictures of him with his late wife displayed around the house that he doesn’t plan on putting away.We talked a lot about marriage, but constant talk of his “wife” makes me feel like we should just live separately.
