Situation: (uk location)

Parents divorced long time ago, Dad has a new wife (long time ago).  Dad is 2 decades older than my step mum so would likely die before step mum.  In his will i am a substitute executor of his entire estate.  My step mum is executor.  In step mum will i am executor of her estate.

I told my dad....if it was his intention (he says it is after both him and step mum die) to leave me his estate (money is largely his) i feared the step mum will could be changed for whatever reason if he was to die first. -  which it can right?

I asked for stipulations to be made so that after his death the step mum cannot radically alter her will. Do such stipulations even exist ?




He should speak with an estate planner-type lawyer. Tell him to inquire about an irrevocable TRUST to protect the assets he wants you to have. Then she cannot change her mind.


Thanks!

At the moment he has told me he trusts her so its no problem : /.  Why wasnt bitcoin invented earlier!

Um ... go to a real life lawyer that you can meet in person about this. That's my advice.

I'd rather gather as much information as i can first, its also a very tricky subject to bring up i want to know what im talking about best i can.
