Mother in law’s checking account is joint with both me and my wife.
The other sibling agrees that his sister be in control. It’s not disinheritance, it’s stewardship. He’ll be taken care of.
So a will isn’t necessary, but transfer upon death for the house would do it?
Hope that is the case for y'all.
Money does odd things to people, my brothers and I are seeing it firsthand with our moms husband.
Her will was clearly laid out and they both had agreement that her stuff was hers and his was his[they both had grown & gone children when they married].
She housed him for 39 years, which helped facilitate him to buy and sell properties at as he wished since he only needed to help with regular living expenses.
At her death last year he was worth at least double what she was but has since decided he wants a piece of her estate.
