Chapter 24 - MY WILLI changed my will.
Not to punish Brian.
That distinction mattered enough that Nina made me wait ninety days before signing anything.
No birthday rage document.
No disinheritance threat.
I created a modest education and health trust for Eli.
$150,000 funded at death if assets allowed, adjustable with the estate.
Brian remained a beneficiary of the larger estate but not sole.
A charitable foundation Elaine loved received a portion.
My nieces received small gifts.
House proceeds divided according to the plan.
I also wrote a letter.
Not legally operative.
Eli: This gift is not compensation for eleven years I did not know you. Money cannot do that. It is simply something I am able to provide. Your relationship with me never depended on accepting it.
Nina said:
“Less sentimental.”
“No.”
“It’s not a greeting card.”
“It’s my document.”
She sighed.
Lawyers suffer.
I told Brian after signing.
He expected anger.
Instead he said:
“Okay.”
Then:
“Thank you.”
Not:
May you like
What about my share?
Progress.
