This woman says she earns far more than her new husband, which should be reflected in their wills.
I recently got married to a man with two daughters. I make quite a bit more money than he does and I have one son because I do not think I can afford more children. My mother will be leaving me a sizable inheritance, which I want to save for my son.
I don’t think each should get a third, rather my son should get 50% because that is my contribution, and his two daughters should share his 50% contribution. Instead, find a way into a discussion about your finances. How it’s responsible for you both to leave wills know that you are a married couple. These details, while the main reason for you making a will, can be part of that larger discussion. That way, he won’t feel blindsided. Before telling him what you would like to happen, ask him, “How should we divide our estates?” Who knows? You may be on the same page.
