Is this a reflection of how my in-laws really feel about me?
My in-laws refer to me as their son and have always treated me as part
of the family.Recently I found out that I was cut out of their will.
While this doesn't change how I feel about them. I wonder if this a
reflection of how my in-laws really feel about me?
Re: Is this a reflection of how my in-laws really feel about me?
This isn't necessarily true. In Canada (not sure about states) there is a law that inheritance received during the marriage is not part of the family assets unless you invest it in the matrimonial home or deposit it into a joint account and leave it there (thus showing an intention of it being joint).
At the same time, I have worked for lawyers and have done wills for almost 10 years and I have literally not once seen a will that named a son or daughter in law, purely because of how todays society is with divorce. Parents never know if a child will divorce and by only naming their child save themselves redoing their wills or arguements down the line if someone separates.
