And let us say how he died is highly suspect-I was one of 3 juveniles when my father died in 1973. His will had recently been re-written to dis-inherit us kids. We never knew the extent of the damage done till we were all adults & they cut us off completely.

We never received proper consultation much less legal advice at the time of his death. And watching my step mother eat up all of the assets has been a slow torture. Especially because despite my best efforts I can no longer work & have to rely on SSDI.

I joked to my brother that at least she bought well when my dad died. The trust paid for a nice place in Woodside Ca. I figured at least that would be an asset for the trust.

NOPE-she has kept the property outside the trust & it is all legal according to a Midland attorney I talked to. I could not believe it but par for the course. She has never helped my or my siblings family in any way & will likely will the house to her side of the family-Joy.

It has been a cancer on my soul since it happened over 40 years ago. And watching the slo mo decimation of his legacy is almost too much to handle. I will never know exactly how my father died-it was in England by horseback. but I was told he was allowed to die slowly without aid after a massive head injury because "we wouldn't want him to be a vegetable". It kinda made sense when I was a kid but now I see a step mother with bad intent conning him into re-writing his will & having her way done.

Do I have any proof?

Only by her actions.
Sad but true.

Still I'll say one thing I'm glad for-I'm a better man than my father ever was-especially as a Dad.
