Advice from Amy Dickinson.
Two years ago, my father-in-law called to inform his son that he was being disinherited because, in my father-in-law’s words, “We don’t need his inheritance.”
Admittedly, she does need his money , but I cannot get over the hurt of being cut out. Two years later, it still bothers me.The word “disinherited” takes on a particular meaning because it sounds as if your husband was due to inherit part of the estate, and now he is being denied because of some specific behavior on his part – or because the relationship with his father has deteriorated.
This daughter is receiving room and board, but she is also providing care that has a substantial monetary value.
