Awww, they sound like sweet people. Maybe the half-sibling will have grown up some.

I remember you post about the watch. Is the executor going to be at the storage facility too?

I remember the watch story. What a wonderful couple they must have been and it seems they always loved you dearly.

Oh my goodness....
I hope you can avoid having to see that relative because I am sure the subject of the watch will come up. If it does, just state the truth, that it was willed to your son. Hopefully you can avoid the situation entirely.
I'm sorry for the loss of your in-laws, they sound like very special people.

I also remember the story. So nice to see people, relatives in particular, treat each other the right way.

It must be comforting to know that your in-laws held you in such high regard. I remember the original thread and how well you handled the situation.
I hope everything goes smoothly for you when you collect your inheritance.

I recall your story and thought how gracious you were and clearly your in-laws are cut from the same cloth. It's refreshing to read about such thoughtful people.

I remember your post and I thought (at the time) how great a person you must be to keep them in your lives. I'm sure that the things they willed to you cannot possibly convey what you did/said and meant to them. How tragic to lose your only child.
I really love this story and hope you don't have to worry about half sibling.

I hope that you can avoid her, but if you can't, they wanted your son to have the watch. Period. They sound like they were lovely people.

It's so nice that your in laws had such a loving relationship with you. I'm sorry there is tension, though. I'm also sorry for your loss. ❤️

I hope everything goes smoothly for you when you collect your inheritance. I agree. I want to quote everybody on this thread. I have never forgotten your story. What a blessing you and your inlaws were to each other. How beautiful that they loved your son as they did. I'm so sorry for the loss of these precious people and for the loss of that tie to your first husband. I hope this transaction goes smoothly without interference. |

I remember the watch story, too!
I'd ask the executor to be there at the storage place, and see if you can be there early, not later. There's no guarantee that the relative won't try to take something she shouldn't.

Reading your story touches my heart. What an extraordinary person you are to maintain a relationship with your first in-laws, especially since they no longer had any children left. I also think your husband must be a special man to include another man's parents in his life. You are no doubt raising a son with compassion and empathy. Okay, I have to go now.... something is in my eye..... |

I remember your various posts about your first in-laws. What lovely people. I am so sorry for your loss, belatedly. It's obvious they loved you, too!
I hope you can finish this all drama free.

I remember your in-laws and the beautiful relationship you maintained through all your hardships.
Bless you for your kindness and understanding, and for allowing them to still have a young family to belong to.
I'm sorry for the trouble with the other relative. I can't say that I blame them for wanting the watch, but it was your in-laws' to do with as they wished and their wishes were very clear.
I hope the relative decides to back down and doesn't give you any grief, but if they do, just keep your son as your priority. This was a gift to him from his grandparents - legal definition be damned. The other relative will just have to do without.
*Maybe* they would like nice photos of the watch? Only ask through your lawyer if that idea appeals to you.
Thank you for being such a wonderful example for all of us.

You had some wonderful inlays. Hopefully you can reach closure with some peace from the sibling.

I too, remember your watch story. It's so to know that in-laws don't have to be thought of as "the enemy". I'm lucky too with my in-laws. Super nice people and I love being around them. My mother-in-law and I work together in the summer at a music amphitheater. I spend about 10 to 12 hours at a time with her and technically I'm her boss. She's a fantastic worker and we have a blast at the job.

Such a memorable story and what a role model you are for your ds. I'm sure that your in-laws were so extremely thankful and blessed to have your and your dh and son in their lives. There can never be too much love and caring. Sorry for the loss of your MIL but glad that she left you a letter, that was so sweet. (((hugs)))

I remember your story about the watch. I'm sorry to hear that your MIL has now passed away. It was very kind and thoughtful of her to remember you and your son in her will. I hope you are able to avoid the half sibling and the drama that will go along with that!

Am pleased that your son has received the watch, but, forgive me, I am puzzled as to why anything in your late husband's estate didn't come automatically to you in the first place?

There's no guarantee that the relative won't try to take something she shouldn't. That is exactly what I was thinking. It's sad, but true. I'm very happy for you that you were able to maintain such a good relationship with this lovely couple. How wonderful for your son that he was able to have them in his life. I totally remember the watch story. |

I remember the original thread as well. If I'm not mistaken, the OP returned those items to her in laws because she felt his parents should have them back. Not only were her in laws awesome people, the op is pretty incredible herself. |

I hope you are able to avoid the half sibling.
