The mom explained that she has chosen to leave the house she pays for in the will to her partner, but that he wants all his inheritance to go their daughter instead.
"I know that wealthy people sometimes do this where they leave everything directly to the children, but am I being unreasonable in thinking that he's not considered me at all in this.In the U.S., the median inheritance is $69,000, according to the Survey of Consumer Finances, while the median trust fund wealth transfer was $285,000.
"We have young children, so as far as we're concerned the whole purpose of our assets is to enable the surviving parent to raise them to adulthood as comfortably as possible. If they never see a penny as adults but have been securely housed, fed, clothed and had a safe and secure upbringing, then the money will have done its job," wrote another user who reassured that she was not being unreasonable.
"Realistically and it happens everyday, either of you could get into another partnership and your daughter gets nothing. You have to protect her inheritance while making it fair so no-one is homeless, or her childhood isn't impacted by a struggling single parent." "You are paying all the bills now - so if he wasn't here tomorrow it would make zero financial difference?" asked one user.
