first and foremost, PROTECT YOURSELF! See a lawyer on your on and see what can be done. Your husband is obviously hiding something! Forget about his parents hooking you up. Demand that something be done, now. You should still see a lawyer and explain the situation and see what rights you have.

All states have laws to provide for a surviving spouse and children, even if they are not named in the will. If your husband died today, even though he did not leave anything for you in his will, you will be entitled to what is known as a statutory share. This must be paid first to the widow, before anyone else gets paid.
If your husband won't leave you money in his will, there are still other things you can do. If you have been married for at least 10 years, then after he dies, you will be entitled to his social security money. Also, certain things such as pension or life insurance don't usually pass under the will - instead the money goes directly to the beneficiary. You can ask him to make you the beneficiary on his pension or life insurance. Or you can also take a policy out on him which you pay for yourself (you would be the owner of the insurance and the beneficiary).

Being married to him u should definitely be in the will. His parents r probably wonderful people, but I've seen instances w/ spouses dying that left the wife in a big bind that was very sad. I don't see anything wrong w/ post nups either. Divorces can end very nasty to and it's nice if you've already agreed on who gets what.

Do you have a good job and will you be able to support yourself? Do you have money of your own? Do you live in a community property state? There are many things to consider. You can't depend on his mom and dad to take care of you, they may not. He needs to provide for you in some way should he pass away.

Whose name is the house in?
My aunt's husband died and she had to move out of the house; his first wife got it. These are things you need to think about before getting married.

his family probally told him not to put you on his will they might put it in your husbands head that you'll take everything if he was to die i had inlaws that was afraid i would take the house that she was leaving to her son if anything happened to her i told my 2nd husband i didn't want her dam house we lived with his mother we divorced she was part of the reason

I would take his decision as offensive and question his true love toward you.

You are his wife and should come first!!! So draw up a will for yourself and don't leave him a thing!

I suggest that you withhold sex until he signs everything over to you
