Re: inheritance
Your father is wrong. You are right. If he dies prior to your step-mom, she will get everything and you will get nothing. Period. End of story. If he truly wants you to have something from his estate, he had better take steps and quit being too cheap to pay a lawyer. Otherwise your step-mom and her kids will enjoy everything he left, leaving you out in the cold.
