writes:My father has not made a will and it will leave very big consequences. He says he will simply pass everything to my Mum. This is fine butt he has not put in place any plan to pass his inhertance tax allowance for her use so that means that hundreds of thousands of pounds will go to the state. There are lots of reasons why he needs to protect us kids and her by doing a will but he has made us all afraid to broach the subject. My Mum seems to love us but she makes horrible remarks and I know she resents us too. I don't need to know that they will leave us money but I do need to know that they have sorted this out to protect us for the ramifications, which will be emotional as well as financial. I have to get the courage to discuss this with him and I don't know how. I would rather not get anything and have the reassurance of knowing he has sorted his will out, than live through the nightmare that will come up at the same time as feeling the loss of a parent. Help?

You are preparing for death but don't say if your father has a certain amount of life left to know it is close....enough for you to be concerned.
I believe if he was not of sound mind then you could be alarmed a little, but you have BOTH parents.
I would on the life they have left and enjoy it with them, forget money and make your parents feel loved by just enjoying the time you have left with them.
