What is the name of your state? Alabama
I am very concerned about my father's actions. My mother passed away in May of this year and left everything in her will to my father, which all that is fine and good. They had their wills made up at the same time and coencided with each other.(whoever died first the other spouse got everything) Ok so they had been married 30+ years no problem there. I agree and accept that. Here is the problem; my mother owned a house and land that had been in her family for at least 10 generations she had told my sister and I that we were to receive this as an inheritance because she wanted it to stay in our family. At this time before my mother passed away my father agreed with this because they had built their own house and he had his own means of living. I have asked my father to change over the property to us( the children)so that we can have the inheritance that my mother wanted us to have. Now, herein lies the problem, he has met this new woman and secluded himself from his family and friends and I recently found out that he is planning to marry her in about 6 months. His will at this moment states that all of his property go to my sister and myself to be divided equally at his death. How will this hold up legally if he does marry her? What is she entitled to when/if she gets married to my father? She is really nothing but a money hungry selfish person who is taking advantage of my father and he wont listen to reason. Is there anyway to protect my mother's legacy? I know that this may appear that i am the greedy one too but I promise this is not the case. My mother was a the one who had all the money and the property in the marriage. Without my mother's money my father would not have had a pot to p*** in. Right now he lives in a house which my mother paid for to have built(her dreamhouse) and he has moved this other woman in not less than 1 month after my mother died. I know she would not have wanted or expected this from my father. Her family was very important to her. I am just trying to protect what she had. Please help.
