Unfortunately, his fiancée didn’t receive his perspective well, and they got into a big fight. He got accused of not taking their family seriously and treating her kids “less than.”
His fiancée believes that, upon tying the knot with her, he should start viewing her children as his own.
“But to me, marriage doesn’t automatically mean my entire estate should now be split in four ways,” he vented.
He ended up telling his fiancée that his will wasn’t up for debate. He stated that he loved her and her kids, but he simply didn’t feel comfortable adding them to his estate.
She’s still furious over this, too, and has been barely speaking to him ever since their argument.
Now, he can’t help but wonder if he’s actually being too stubborn or if his decision was justified.
Should blended families automatically be added to estates? Or can you understand his hesitation? What advice would you give him?
