Spouse refuses to make will
I sold a beautiful home with 10 acres and a pond after dating a man for four years. I moved in with him and we got married. We talked about life insurance, what if situations if one of us died, ect. I recently verified from an attorney that by this states guidelines that I would get 1/3 of the real estate and his son from a previous marriage would get 2/3. This is not what we agreed to years ago. The son is an addict incarcerated for several years remaining on his sentence. This is in no way fair to me. I gave up a beautiful home, paid the majority of the bills because he was forced into an early retirement. (Layoff). It makes me feel like he does not care about me. I'm thinking of leaving. I don't want to pay his bills and do for him for years only to be forced out of this house if something happens to my husband. Does anyone think I am being unreasonable? We are in our 50s and 60s. I have to think about my future.

Hi sweetie,
I do sense your anger and Im truely sorry to hear about this!
You are not being unreasonable at all! Pff!
You said you spoke to an attorney and this is what state guidelines say
Let's sort a few things out:
How long has his son been incarcerated?
How old is he?
And how many years have you been married?
Alot of this can,depending on what state you live in,rely on how many years you have been legally married
Next,try again,to speak with your husband regarding a wil,and see if you in turn can get 2/3 of his estate and the rest to his son,and also state in writing that the money left to his son is for recovering his addiction,and is not to be spent on any drugs etc.And if any is found that he has spent his share of the money on drugs,that he gives away his right to the money
I hope that made sense
See,if you can,this is a very very extreme case,get a court order,or get a power of attorney on your husband's will or life situation
Having a power of a attorney will give you much better of a place and security as to how to handle finances and the estate,etc.
Please state to your husband that you are very concerned for your well being and your intentions are not selfish,but you want to make sure you are well taken care of and getting a job at your age would be a bit difficult
Be blessed!
