Dad leaves all his money to only son, until dad's ex-wife demands son share the inheritance with her daughter, son refuses to comply: ‘The will is ironclad’

Why can't people respect a will and leave it be? There is a reason why the law is behind it. 

When it is revealed how my parents (who will both live until they are 100 years old, as far as I'm concerned) decided to split their inheritance between my sisters and me, my biggest wish is that it will not cause any rifts between us. I want to believe that they will split their assets evenly between all three of us, but you can never really know. I also want to believe that no matter what comes out of that inheritance, we will respect my parents and one another enough not to let any inequality come between us, but again, you can never really know.

Wills tend to do that to a family.

At the end of the day, however, someone can pout and stomp their feet all they want for not getting their wishes out of their parents' will; that is not going to change that legal document. Unless one has some hard evidence that the will was not genuine, they are just going to have to accept their place. 

The funny thing in the story below is that the person fighting for a spot in the will is not even related to the man who wrote it. You see, this man had two ex-wives, one biological son, and one stepdaughter, whom he had no biological relations to. When he passed away, he left absolutely everything he owned to his son, who was the only family he had left, really.

However, the second ex-wife, the one with the daughter, thought it was unfair that her ex-husband didn't leave anything to either of them, even though they were already divorced. She then turned to her ex's son and demanded he share some of the inheritance, claiming it was the moral thing to do.

The son and his mom both think that is an unreasonable demand, and insist on keeping the inheritance exactly how it was left in the will. This led to quite a dispute with the other ex-wife, and now they are worried about legal consequences.

Should they worry, or does the ex-wife have no legs to stand on? Keep scrolling to read the full story.
