My dad’s new wife, Liv, is younger than me. He is 63, Liv is 26, and I’m 32. Last month, he told me he had changed his will so that everything would go to her: the house, the savings, all of it.
When I confronted him, he shrugged and said, ‘Your mother left you the heirlooms, and you have a decent job. That’s more than enough. You’ll be fine, but Liv is young, she needs security and needs to be taken care of.’
I literally fumed, and Liv just smirked.
But I wasn’t about to let that slide. I checked the records and discovered the house he promised her was still in both his and my late mom’s names. The transfer had never been completed, which meant half of it was legally mine.”
“So I went to a lawyer and filed my claim. At the next dinner, I let them both know. They went pale. Liv froze when she realized the mansion she flaunted online wasn’t fully hers to inherit. She may have thought she had taken it all, but I made sure she got far less than she expected.
Now my dad’s attitude to me has changed completely, as he believes I’ve deprived Liv of her security. There’s quite a tension between him and Liv, too. He blames me of being selfish and jealous, but I only wanted justice.
Am I wrong for claiming what legally belonged to me and ruining my dad’s happy relationship?
