:lol: Yea I meant how long had littletime been married. As for the hijacked thread, hey it happens.rockridgecattle":3kw6djlf said:Larry
15 years this year
We wild
loaned the money so hubby could go to school, and paid it back before we were married.
but they did lend husband money for a truck before we were married and they said they would take it off the inheritance rather than he pay it back. How that works dunno. Between him and his parents.
Death tax i think that is like the inheritance tax here.
but some how i think we hijacked this guys thread and he's probably not cool with that.

What makes you so sure that at his death everyone is equal? The will makes that clear. I've seen many times where a father has the money but not the physical abilities to use it. The father supplies the money the youngest son supplies the strong back. In the end father remembers strong back and forgets siblings that wanted nothing to do with daddy except for the money when daddy dies. Death has never made anything equal.alftn":1klf6yt1 said:I think 1 out of four is fair...or 50 % of profits...He is your father but in truth you are working for your siblings, at his death every one is equall reguardless of whom worked the hardest....

As adults If I EXPECT help- I expect to make it worth their time and effort.
If times were tough and I had no money - that would be a different story.Then family takes care of family for no financial rewards.
