‘My fiancé is wealthy and doesn’t need to inherit a dime from me to live comfortably after my death. My son will be reliant on the trust.’
I am getting cold feet about a marriage proposal I accepted this summer, and it’s all about money. Wait, it’s never really about money but rather what the handling of money represents. We have been together for more than six years, and bought a home together.
I am bothered that he would want to remove this major asset from the future of my son’s care. Life experience has taught me not to imagine that people will care for non-relatives in perpetuity. My fiancé is wealthy and doesn’t need to inherit a dime from me to live comfortably after my death. My son will be reliant on the trust . My love is upset that I don’t trust him to take care of my son if I die.
But more importantly, your husband has already agreed to it. Whether your relationship survives or fails is up to him — and whether he now wants to change the goal posts after you get married. One could argue, unflatteringly perhaps, that he’s using the wedding ring as leverage. Back to your dilemma: Your fiancé is free to leave his share of your home to his estranged child, or the dogs and cats home, if he chooses. He is wealthy. You are not. It makes sense that you want to make sure that your son will never have to worry about his future. Your current arrangement should stand.
