I believe she actually believes my kids also give me some angle on inheritance that she doesn't have. Whole thing is kind of sad really.
Yeah I was more blind sided than anything. Funny thing is she would probably be a better executive than me because she works in the legal field. It's just disappointing to see something happen like this and I have fears of what may happen if/when my father does pass.

I believe it is an old tradition that the oldest son is named executar. I've heard stories of kids showing up for their mothers funeral pulling a trailer so they can load their haul. A small windfall can really bring out the worst in some people.
I also have an old freind who's family is at a staleamate over their place in Sylvan Lake which the parents left to them. Two of the three kids want to keep it but can't afford to buy out the third, it is in dire need of reapairs and the basic maintenence is a real pain etc... it would have been much easier to divy up the money then try to share the use and care of a holiday home.
