A woman is concerned that her partner, who has no children, will not name her as his beneficiary. She fears his controlling sister will inherit everything and leave her unable to sell their property if he becomes incapacitated.
I asked my partner to name me as his beneficiary. He says he will but has not. What can I do?My partner, who is almost 80 and is extremely kind and generous, supports me. We have lived together for six years. He has no children and, when I moved in with him, he left his home to me and his money to his sister, who also has no children. She lives overseas and he no longer feels close to her as she is very controlling. She took over our lives when she visited last year.to live with him.
about this and told that I am very concerned. He says he will act but does not like change or to make these decisions. I’m not being greedy but I have been through a similar situation with my late husband. I don’t want to keep on about it but I am losing sleep worrying about this. What can I do?I remember in my early 20s having a conversation with one of my favourite colleagues, then in his 50s, about contested wills.
Might he feel some familial obligation to her that he doesn’t want to sever? Does he want to leave his money to her in recognition of their past – their present notwithstanding? Sometimes family’s like that. We say we don’t like them, we’ve grown apart, they drive us nuts, nothing in common, when at the same time we still feel some unbreakable bond.
