  • I have always taken the view that my parents provided me with an education and an upbringing, and that their money is their own to do with as they will.

    Up to them, I would say.

    Parents should write a Will, and leave what ever to who ever they wish, end off.

    They sort out any inheritance to be left, not you.

    Not sure I even understand the question though.

    It is none of my business what my parents with their tat.. they can leave it all to the cats home for all I care.

    I'd be too upset that my parents had croaked to be interested.. it is absolutely their decision what happens to their stuff and I would not be so presumptuous to expect anything (which in my case is probably a good thing lol)

    It's only 'inheritance' when they die. If they are remarrying, it would suggest they are very much alive, and free to spend their money as they choose.

    I'm not sure I understand the question?

    What does getting remarried have to do with an inheritance?

    Parents make a will, leaving whatever to whoever. I don't see 'issues' from this?

    Possibly parents are not "remarrying"" as in getting married to each other again.

    Maybe Mum is marrying someone new and Dad is marrying someone new.

    Even so, inheritance decisions are up to each parent to make - not the offspring.
