Lost my ancestral home?


Question: When my father remarried a woman my family deemed a fortune hunter- they cut him out of the will to get our families ancestral home. Their belief was that she had two young children( with whom my father ultimately adopted) and if he died suddenly- the home would go to her- then to her children- Not me. Therefore the home is going to be handed down to my aunt.

I am trying to get an handle on this because by cutting him out- they are cutting me out of the ownership- and when I approached them on this- they told me my dad said he wouldnt cut out his wife or 2 adoptive children. SO they thought it better to do what they did vs. having me war with my stepmother- who I also believe is a fortune hunter.

How do I get on grip on losing the only home I ever knew growing up and knowing my children will never be a part of it. It means a great deal to me both mentally and historically.
Answers: I would talk to your aunt about it. Unless your aunt is a fortune hunter too? she has every right to pass that house to you after she gets it in the will. If she will not, then there is little you can do for the errors of our parents choices. Sometimes we have to suck up our losses and move on. There is nothing that says later in life that you can not make your own fortune and go and buy back the house that you seem to love so much and then it will truely be your house. I wish you well and I hope you aunt will fork over the house to you.
Sincerely
