There's one constant in this story.

Your friend.


Guess he was a douche.

My guess is he is immature and would rather party than work on establishing a career. The father knew he would likely piss through 8 million and made the right choice.

My good friend recently passed away from cancer. He had at least 10 rental houses among his assets. He left everything to his 2nd wife who he knew for years but had just married 1 yr prior to him passing. He told me he knew his kids would piss away whatever he gave them. At least they each ended up getting a house and the 2nd wife does help them out with school bills. Of course there were many lawsuits in between.
 
Horrible way to find out you've been disowned.

This is why I never go through life expecting something like an inheritance, not that my parents have much to leave when the time comes.

My son contacted me and went to my home for a stay, when i came home to that place he had stolen some things, he doesn't have the guts to even answer his phone.

If i died today i'd be worth more than that and all of it would be going to my daughter, he would not get even one cent and while she's doing just fine having a job while pregnant and having a man who also has a job which means they can move into a pretty nice house without having to even take out a loan... she gets it all if i die.

It's about respect and honor, if you have none, you deserve nothing.

Had to throw that in there, eh? Make sure we know you are a multi-millionaire? 😉

No you are NOT! Everybody with a brain knows that you're a liar and a phony, and nobody who's in the SAS (or any equivalent secret-squirrel special forces organization) goes around blathering about it on the internet.

I bet you've never spent a day in the military, although it's certainly possible that you're a supply clerk or something similar who dreams up grandiose fantasies about hunting terrorists. And then to top it off you pretend that you're a multi-millionaire, what a freaking joke.
 
meh. my sisters (i have 4) are going to get pwned when my father dies. my dad is worht a good bit of money. IF my step-mother dies first my dad will be worth between 10-15 mill. she married a rich guy when young. he owned half a business with her father. he died and left her everything. she sold it to her dad. well about 6 years ago her dad died and left everything to her. she sold it yet again. then her mother died leaving her like 800k+ stocks and a house in OC California. its funny they have a ton of money but you wouldnt know it by how they live.

i get everything from my dad. in my step-mothers my kids get 50% (if my dad dies first), i get a little and the rest is split among her niece's and nephews.

a couple years ago my dad nearly died of a heart attack. my sister made a comment to her daughter that she better start kissing up if she wants to be part of the will. i gotta admit i was sick afte r hearint that.

well if you are the man and father you say you are, then I'm sorry for casting aspersions on you. And regardless of whether what you say is true or false, hopefully everything will turn out the better for you and your son.

as an aside, sorry for semi-derailing the thread.

pertaining to the OP -- dad's money, dad does what he wants. As long as the children were fed, cared for and raised properly anything more is just gravy.

He didn't lose anything, seeing as it was never his in the first place.

This is how I see it. Nothing has changed for him. Sure, someone he knows got rich, but that money didn't come out of his pocket. If I were him, I would be more concerned with the fact that my own father died with such a low opinion of me than with how much money I got. The blow to my heart would be far greater than the blow to my pocketbook.
 
When my parents die I figure I'll get half of about $1.5-2 million in total assets. I have a good relationship with my parents, a good relationship with my sister, and my parents are unlikely to blow the money before they die. In any case I'd much rather just live within my own means and keep both my parents around for as long as possible. If my father's parents are any indication I'll likely get him for another 30+ years.
 
did the dad specifically write him out of the will? (ex. Douchebag son gets nothing). did the dad write the will after the son was born?

Not sure how it works in Canada, but those are $8 million questions in a lot of states here.
 
Heh, my father's father was pretty senile and this woman convinced him that my dad was out for his money. Gramps cut him out of the will and gave her his share. So my aunt had died and the way the will was written her daughters got their mother's share.

What Gramps didn't do was change who was executor, my father. Now that seems like the ultimate snub, but it worked to my father's advantage. You see my two cousins are conniving evil bitches (common on my father's side). The very day the old man died they called the attorney managing the estate (which wasn't all that much) and demanded their share. Now.

They called every damn day doing the same thing. The attorney said that he had never had to deal with such mean and petty people before. So he told my father that according to the state that he was entitled to compensation as executor, and by god he was going to see that he got every cent the attorney could come up with before disbursement.

He then sent an itemized summary to the two misers and hell they were pissed to find out that after everything my father got more than they did.

While it's not impossible that a multi-millionaire is also a member of the SAS, it does certainly seem unlikely. Seems like there'd be easy proof of this to cite if John of Sheffield wanted too.

Well actually SAS members aren't supposed to reveal their identity, so there really isn't anything for him to cite. Of course they also aren't supposed to go around advertising their line of work on internet message boards, so the mere fact that someone goes around claiming to be in the SAS shows about a 95% chance that he's utterly full of shit.

So this guy I know's dad just died. He never had a great relationship with his father but he always thought it was just strained, not hated or anything.

So his dad dies and they pull out his will--the guy was disowned by his father. His dad never told him he was disowned and blocked out of the will.

He also never told him his sister would get the whole kitty--$16 million dollars.

To summarize, he mourns the loss of his father, discovers he's been disowned in a will, and loses his half of $16 million dollars.

Fuck me.

Well of course he's a multi-millionaire, in addition to being a leader of an elite special forces unit. Essentially, he's James Bond.
 
1) Stand in front of a mirror. Close your eyes.
2) Reflect on all of your failed and strained relationships.
3) Consider the one common denominator.
4) Open your eyes.
