Like I told my stepfather a few years before he died, spend everything you want to and don't worry about the kids. I wish he would have followed my advice because I ended up as executor and had to be in the middle of a war with my siblings.
Wasn't the will clear on who gets what?
No. He didn't want to deal with confrontation. That's why he handed it off to me because I was the youngest, a CPA, and didn't take [bleep] from anyone, especially siblings and their spouses. It got ugly for a while but we all get along now.
