Davaoeno 37,646 Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 my dad just died last June, no will. I am his only son, his separated wife gets everything of value...almost 800,000cad, I get a kick in the ass and a year of trying to figure out how to get over this gnawing resentment that has really has been debilitating. as they say you cant cure stupid. My father had a will leaving the house to the kids. Then he got remarried and died a couple of years later . He didnt do a new will . In Canada marriage invalidates all existing wills. So his new wife claimed everything. A non judicial remedy helped with the situation. Link to post Share on other sites

Similar situation to me.....you would think the woman would toss me a bone. Not sure how she can sleep at night. anyway...boo who I have to just try to forget. Link to post Share on other sites

Davaoeno 37,646 Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 (edited) Ellenbrook- you said " i do have my own will here with me but my lawyer in AUSTRALIA with my daughter are aware of my new wife too be so all will be divided by 3 my lawyer did assure me all will be respected has my wishes cannot be contested" This from an Australian law firm: Marriage generally revokes a will and the will therefore becomes inoperative. This means that if the testator (the person who creates the will) does not make a new will after marriage, he or she will die intestate (without a valid will) and his or her estate will be distributed according to intestacy rules rather than pursuant to his or her wishes. However, there are two circumstances in which a will won’t be revoked after marriage. The first is where the will was made in exercise of a “power of appointment” (a sometimes complex situation regarding trusts – seek advice from a legal practitioner regarding this point). The second circumstance is where the will was created in contemplation of marriage. Regarding the second circumstance, this means that the testator makes it clear in the will that they do not wish for it to be revoked after marriage. The testator has two options: either make the will valid only after marriage, or make the will take effect immediately and not be revoked after marriage or if marriage does not occur. It is recommended, though not required, that a statement be inserted into the will showing the testator’s intentions and confirming that the marriage is contemplated. It is advisable to seek legal advice from a qualified legal practitioner to ensure these provisions are drafted appropriately. i do have my own will here with me but my lawyer in AUSTRALIA with my daughter are aware of my new wife too be so all will be divided by 3 my lawyer did assure me all will be respected has my wishes cannot be contested the money will be in 30 days dispatch too the beneficiary for my future new wife money will be send too her bank account ,in the Philippines ..

Then you would know he already raised you and now he is taking care of her by choice. No offense meant to you but a man owes his grown children nothing. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Then you would know he already raised you and now he is taking care of her by choice.No offense meant to you but a man owes his grown children nothing. His wife left him over a year prior to his death, served him papers and he vowed to hide and or burn everything before she got it. its not about owing your child anything, its about having your shit in order to minimise confusion and hardship of the ones you selfish leave behind. Aside from that he owes me much more than just having his life in order before he drank himself death. So your comments really don't apply at all to this situation. No offense. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
