why should you care abt that when she is still alive. how do you know who is gonna die first. death doesnt claim only the aged you know

I wish I had this problem. However, my mum is far more important to me alive and well.
IF I stood to inherit the type of money you speak about, one of the first things I would do is pay for my brother to have a private operation from a bone speciallist. Bro is 51 and had an accident when he was 17, which left him with a twisted leg and its two inches shorter than the other one because of it.
He has so much pain when he walks, I could cry for him.
I would get both my spine and hips sorted out too.
The next thing I would do is pay for a kidney machine for our county. There is only a few machines and appointment times are long.
But again, mum is more important than money and I need her far more , I love her so much.

Take it,I inherited a substantial amount of money some years ago and I couldn't spend it as it seemed any enjoyment I may get from it was because of someone Else's death.She may be feeling like this but her mother wants her to have it,ask her would she want her own kids to be financially stable when she passes???She should take it , perhaps invest it for the kids if she feels strongly about it.

The money never goes to a dog`s home. If your partner won`t take it, then some distant relatives will take it or the money will go to the government.
But if your partner's kids are less than 18 years of age. Then your partner has a duty to take care of their interests the best she can. And if she doesn`t consider their interests, then she is betraying her children`s and society`s trust in her that she will do what is best for her children. In that case, perhaps her children will sue her in court, when they grow up.

Goodness me, money is money and in this world it would be nice to have enough to make ends meet comfortably. This amount of money could secure all your futures.....including the kids and grandkids and whoever comes along after that. Your wife may have her reasons for not wanting the money, but those reasons need to be weighed up logically against the definite benefits for all the family and generations to come. If there is an opportunity to make life a little easier, then I think she would be silly to choose pride over lifetime financial security.

When your partner's mother passes away, it will be very emotional. Take the money and put it aside. Use what you need to make things comfortable during this time of sorrow.
Then make a decision in 6 months to a year -- when you are both back to thinking straight.

planning the mother in laws death eh?! i know which way your leaning dont blame you though take the dosh hun.
If push comes to shove then dont give it to the dogs give it to a charity that make a difference eg cancer research, at some point cancer affects everyone either you get it or you know someone.
Not saying it wouldnt be good for the dogs an all that just would change more lives in a different place.

Its allot of money to leave and also to give away , i was left a hell of allot of money yrs ago , i didnt want or need it so i put it into trust funds for my children,
How do you not know her mother is just saying that anyway she might not pop off for another 40 yrs by that time the money could be gone. best thing you can do is stay out of it let them sort it out between them , otherwise you will come out the worst thay will end up thinking your only with the daughter for the money.

Both her children are right. If she's level headed, the money can only enhance what you already have. Give half to the dogs home and keep the other half. Set up a home and get all the things for it to make life comfortable. Then live the way you normally live.
If she wants to give it to a stranger - I'm not complaining.. here's my address... lol

She should take the money. Obviously, her mother wants her to have it. If she's not comfortable with that much money, she can do great things with it. Pay somebodys tuition to college who may not otherwise be able to go. Help a sick child get the operation he needs. Use it to teach people to read. She can do so much good with it. Maybe get a car for someone who has to make regular trips to the hospital and has no transportation. Adopt a family for Christmas who may not be able to afford gifts. Just be somebody's guardian angel.

You should take the money because it is what her mother wants. To take money that she has worked hard for and just give it away is insulting. Think about the good things it could bring to your life and if you don't want to spend it, just knowing its there if you need it will be a comfort.
