No jokes about any port in a storm.

Absolutely no jokes. Otima is the ONLY port for me........regardless of the weather!

I always thought the best Ports were from Scots families...Cockburn, Waugh et al.

Each to their own but I prefer no sediment in my port.

Divorced once.

Was OK. 

2nd marriage over but not divorced. 

Bit of advice needed. Now my 2nd wife dosent want me to make a will.

As it stands if I die it all goes to her.

I've got a terminal illness, maybe 2 years left at best.

I want to leave half of my estate to my 3 kids.

What should I do?

Sorry to hear about your illness mate.
Make a will.... that way you can be 100% sure ( as far as im led to believe ) it goes to who you want.

Spend a few hundred quid and see a solicitor who specialises in family law.

Best advice you'll get on P&B.

Sorry to hear about your illness.

Just to echo what Kincardine said really. Go see a Lawyer that specialises in Wills.

Kids are absolutely brilliant.  Quite easily the best thing I've ever done.  Divorcing was too - especially for my kids.  Rather than living in a war zone they had two happy parents living independent lives but who cooperated to ensure they were well looked after.  They actually thrived post-divorce and now, in their teens, choose who to stay with and when.  
I was determined to have as civilised a divorce as possible and not trade money off against access to the weans.  It cost me a lot of money but was worth it as we never squabbled and the kids weren't fought over.

Did you and your Mrs part ways because of your excessive drinking?

My youngest told me this week I frightened away 3 boyfriends as I told them if they hurt her I hurt them

Something fishy about your wife, Fnarr fnarr. If you want to leave something for your kids then get a will sorted pronto.

Sorry to hear of your illness.

As advised before, you need to seek professional advice. If you don't make a will your current wife's thinking is correct, you also need to consider possible inheritance tax implications which may or may not affect your estate.

You make a will. Get it sorted else it gets messy. Not that you'll be giving a f**k, you'll be deed.

But seriously, get it sorted.

 I'm a lightweight compared to many on here.

 

I am, though, a fucking nightmare to live with.  This will surprise many.

My Father died fairly recently leaving everything to his wife. Our solicitor has told us that by law I and my sisters are legally entitled to half the estate, whatever the will says. Make sure your kids know this. And talk to a solicitor.

I imagine you correcting the grammar on Birthday and Xmas cards. And probably in general conversation.

I bet you can spot when someone is even just thinking an incorrect apostrophe from the look in their eye.

Definitely get advice on here as opposed to going to a solicitor.

Making a will in new year.

That would be expensive the kids going to Court.

Be sod all left after that.

That's fucking rotten, and I'm sorry. Get to a solicitor and get your will sorted ASAP - you shouldn't have to be thinking about this kind of shit in the time you've got left. Make sure they all know what they're getting, and that you don't want to hear any bitching about it.

...then make sure to spend everything on hookers and blow

I imagine you're having a 'top of the league' dram.

A meringue?
