[QUOTE="SeekingStrength, post: 648330, member: 17635"] Except for a hateful email from our difficult son, we have had no contact with him in about a year. We have not written him out of the will for a couple reasons. First, cutting him out would not be cutting him out of much. We are both retired teachers -- none of the adult children will be receiving a substantial amount of $$. Secondly, about a year ago, there was a rather long thread on another forum to which I subscribe. This forum is about retirement. There were many stories about how cutting one kid out of the will causes hardship for the kids that[B] are[/B] included....that the one cut out can wreak all sorts of havoc for them. husband and I mean to (have not yet) talk to the attorney about keeping difficult child away from dividing the household furnishings, etc. We think we will have that kind of stuff divided between the two adult kids who like us, yet divide the (meager) $$ funds between all three. We can live (and die) with that, while hopefully shielding the other two from major problems. We are still thinking and re-thinking. It is a difficult decision, much to process and who knows what is best.....We are not getting younger and need to talk to attorney soon. [/QUOTE]
