Blended family members often misassume their roles in their new family dynamic. Does a stepparent reserve the right to know everything about their stepchild, even when it comes to money and assets left to them by their biological parent? That’s the million-dollar question, and the father in the story below thinks «no».

When a loved one knows their time is imminent, they’ll distribute their assets to loved ones who they believe need them. Therefore, it makes sense that the late mother in this story leaves her son a substantial sum of money that can be used for his education and future endeavors.

Given that the biological mother in this situation has passed, her son and his father will never truly know if she would have been fine with their new family having knowledge of and possible access to the funds. It’s safe to assume, however, that the late mother left this money to her son, and her son only. The father has since put money into the savings account to help it grow, but his new wife insists that she should be given all the details about it.
