The initial reason for
buying the house with so much land originally was to have something
reasonable to leave the children when we end up being the one's pushing up
the daisies.

Can I flag something up which has happened to me, and if unfortunately the
same thing happens to you, your children will get nothing!! It is a common
'run of events' and no doubt other readers can identify with it.

My mother died when I was six. My father remarried and that marriage
produced a daughter, my half sister. (I do have an older sister). My father
and stepmother then bought a hotel and started to build it up. He died when
I was 19. The hotel was kept on by my step mother and my half sister, who
married but was involved with the hotel. Proceeds from the profits bought a
very big house in the country for stepmother, half sister and her husband
and their two children to live in. Hotel sold. Half sister now lives in
Florida and stepmother lives in a very nice luxury apartment. I get nothing.
I have a vase and a couple of brass dishes from my mother and father's early
days.

Yes I could have gone into the hotel but chose not to. Even if I had, I am
still 'entitled' to nothing.

I am not bitter, I am just flagging this up for you and for you to 'do
something now' before you are pushing up the daisies. When my father died
there was no will.

Whilst I sincerely hope this does not happen to you, none of us knows the
future.

Best wishes
