I found out in 1972 that my father had been molesting my sisters for years. I am the brother living in Portland Oregon and my sisters live in Aurora Ill near Chicago near my parents. My dad has uses every opertunity to insult and attack my self esteme since childhood. I am how 68 years old. During my vacation in August, I discovered he is just as vicious and mean as ever. My sister Joyce and brother in law have befriended my dad in spite of the fact that he has molested Joyce's daughter. My dad is 86 now and end of life is an issue. I suspect that Dave Keasler is grooming my dad for a large inheiratence. What rights do I have.
State/Country relating to Question: Illinois Already Tried: I would like to add details but your page is too quict to move on I have severe PTSD and shake a lot. I also suffer from overwhelming saddness. I have sought help from the VA both in Chicago and Oregon. (VA outreach on Sandy Blvd.)
I'm sorry to hear about your family situation, it sounds as though it has been quite difficult on you.
Before I see if I can help you out......
Your question was as to what rights you have. Rights to what? What is it that you're inquiring about.
spell check would be nice. I am a little disorganized. My dad will use this as an operunity to insult me again by disowning at a critical time. I am not so much worried about value of the inheratance as I am abut the insult opertunity he is being presented.
Let me see what I can do to assist.......
As you've alluded to, the issues between you and your father could certainly effect any inheritance. Assuming things are as bad between you and your father, it wouldn't be at all unexpected for him to write you out of the will. One would hope his personal feelings wouldn't effect how he passes on his assets, but that is clearly a possibility.
The writing of a will is personal to the writer. While it deals primarily with the legal issue of how to dispose of assets, it can also be used as an opportunity to speak negatively of those that may stand to inherit. So, if you're asking if your father may use the written instrument to slander or insult you, then the answer is yes, he certainly could.
