Baby trapping: Aftermath

Tw: Baby trapping/ Pregnancy/ Child birth/ Yandere/ Canon divergence

It had been a couple of weeks since the aphrodisiac incident between you and Wesker. He seemed to be way more clingy afterwards, protective essentially. He always saw you home, checked up on you, had lunch and sometimes dinner with you, would do paper work with you. Anything just to be near you. Neither of you brought up the incident, not that you needed to. It was obvious that it made you closer, however you were a little scared that it was only out of lust. This would be proved to be wrong as he asked you out on a date, both romantically and to talk about what had happened in the lab.

You two seemed to have talked the night away, ending up at his place, and just spending it in each other’s arms. It seemed like a casual relationship, but then you started to feel sick every morning. To be safe, you got one pregnancy test…one test became two, and two became three. It was pretty obvious what you had to tell Wesker the next day…as well as Irons for leave. You were never going to tell anyone what happened in that lab, nor were you going to tell who the dad was to anyone on the team. God you could just hear Jill and Chris if they found out.

So…with a little hesitation you did tell Wesker. Within a box, wrapped neatly. When Jill questioned about it, you just said it was a gift for him for protecting you on a solo mission a while back. It wasn’t…entirely untrue. Just a couple omitted details is all.

But when he opened that box? God. Did he love what was inside. Confirmed pregnancy test. Meaning all of his scheming to get to investigate that lab, to “accidentally” bump into the aphrodisiac case, to finally, finally having you all for himself was worth it and paying off. You two immediately had a chat outside of work, him utterly fascinated by the pregnancy. He treated you like glass, while you chastised him for doing so. Wesker helped you submit your leave to Irons, making sure it would get approved when the rest of STARS team would be deployed in the mansion. He also made sure no one else knew about why you were taking leave, just saying it was some personal matters and nothing more.

He would visit your home all the time, bringing food, helped clean around the house, helped set up a baby room, or baby proofed some of the house. It felt so sweetly domestic. It really felt like you two were settling down and starting a family together, well you were but this home for you and his future child was only temporary. Soon you’d be his spouse, taking care of your two’s family, out of danger, and living as pampered as you deserved. Wesker brought up that since you would be having his child, maybe you two should marry as soon as possible, to make it easier to raise the kid. Seeing no real problem in his plan, you agreed. Much to his delight.

With some undercover umbrella as your witness, you two were married and were set on building a life for your child. As your stomach grew the more fascinated he became with your body, kissing the bump as you two laid cuddled on your couch or bed. Hand constantly on your bump when cooking together. Just so utterly fascinated.

When the mansion incident happened you wouldn’t know until they arrived back. However, they didn’t arrive back quick enough. Wesker did though. He made sure to take you away from the city he deemed too filthy for his family. He also made sure to make it seem like there was a struggle and a kidnapping, and also stole all the baby stuff from the house. You would never know why, nor would you know. He said there was an emergency, and that you two needed to move for safety. No one will ever know that you were with child, or that you are with his child. He needed you, he wanted you to be safe. And so, you were in a new place far far away from cities, just a small town in a very rural area. An easy place to hide his own mansion, to hide you, and a small town filled with his own employees.

When you had given birth to your son, he was ecstatic. Holding you close, and holding your newborn close to both of you. You had given him the greatest gift of all, and something to further his plans without you even knowing. He would watch his son grow up, and you his beloved spouse made the perfect parent. His son would never go wanting but also making sure he didn’t grow up spoiled.

The little copy of your husband loved to follow him around at home. Not that he minded. Your son was living proof of your love and devotion for Wesker. And by the time those fools figure out what happened all those years ago, it’s already too late.

And so to Perseus, the son, a legacy.

When I saw your OT3 with Lilia and Dawn I thought for a long time about what kind of Yuu would fit them and remembered that I have a soldier! Yuu from the alternate Twisted Wonderland. And then I saw your post "The Knight of Dawn and Lilia Vanrouge as the Weapons in War " and my brain just said "Yes, that fits"

*looks at her convoluted notes with Soldier!Yuu's lore and sighs nervously* Very briefly (and omitting the world lore and part of the backstory), Yuu has been a long time soldier in the service of the Briar Valley and their fate is somewhat similar to that of Dawn and Lilia combined, but somewhat more disturbing. *looks further at the notes and tries to figure out how not to go on a 10 hour rant trying to explain everything that's going on* Was the victims of experiments in which they became immortal, was enslaved by a man who used her as living weapons, was "freed" by the King of Briar Valley in exchange for oaths of service to the BV, manipulated and co-dependent by him, lost all new friends whose deaths were not accidental, witnessed the destruction of their "home", *looks further down the list* then became certified war criminals with several revolutions, genocides, brutal murders, all to avenge their friends.

*realizes it's getting too long and tries to speed things up*

Then a few centuries of self-injury and attempts at suicide amidst loss before she gets to Twisted Wonderland and becomes an NRC student. And then there's the anxiety of meeting boys who look like their friends.

*sigh* A fitting match for Lilia and Dawn, isn't it? The level of trauma in this relationship is off the charts. But at the same time, these three are wonderfully understanding and supportive, trying to help each other through everything.

Some funny and fluff thoughts and headcanons with this family, because it's about time to end this angst.

A thought about Lilia raising Silver alone and telling him about his parents. About what a perfect knight his father was, and the recklessly suicidal mother who could single-handedly mow down a troop. ("Never, hear me, young man, never be like your mother. Unlike her, you are not immortal.")

Yuu, after returning from the past: In my world, you were my apprentice and I was attached to you. Silver: Well, in this world I'm your son and I'm attached to your image created from the old man's stories.

Also a conversation with Meleanor where she asks what Malleus was like in Yuu's world. "He cared for his people and his lands. Was just and merciful to them and harsh with the enemies of the Valley. He accomplished much for his country. His Majesty was undoubtedly a good king. Not a person."

Yuu are nerds when it comes to swords. As a soldier she is skilled with any kind of weapon, but swords have always been her favorite. She enjoys caring for them and has always wanted to build up a collection, but in her home world that was impossible. Meleanor gives Yuu the sword that will start the collection. All those years while Lilia waits for Yuu's return and Dawn's awakening with Silver, he collects a variety of swords for Yuu's collection.

Shortly before Yuu's return to the present, Meleanor orders them to pose for a portrait, saying that the descendants should know by sight those who contributed greatly to the war between fae and humans. She would never admit that she wanted Lilia to have any reminder of his spouses.

Levan was the one who insisted on teaching Malleus swordfighting. Because Yuu has proven to him more than once that a sword in skillful hands could be stronger than any magic.

In fact, no one had ever explained to Malleus all the intricacies of the situation and the Lilia x Yuu x Dawn relationship, because they thought he knew and understood everything himself. So Malleus thought for a long time that Lilia was actually married to Yuu because they had a child together, and that Dawn was their mutual friend, and that they died years ago. And then Lilia shows up with a child he calls his son and mentions in passing that Yuu and Dawn would like to see their child. Malleus asks for an explanation of what he means and then gets a pattern breaker.

Lilia keeps a huge chest filled with photo albums. Every moment of Silver's life is documented and stored to show them to Yuu and Dawn.

Silver keeps parts of his parents' uniforms in his room, which he discreetly stole from a trunk in the attic when he was 10 years old. Lilia pretends he still hasn't noticed they're missing and hasn't had a heart attack when it went missing.

Meleanor knows what Yuu went through and likes to call her "My sweet war criminal" to tease her. The people around them are starting to feel uneasy.

Lilia didn't actually plan on informing Meleonor and Levan of Yuu's return right away and wanted to delay it because the Draconia are obviously crazy. Unfortunately for Lilia, Meleonor is crazy enough to link a sleeping spell to Yuu's return and cast a huge number of signaling charms on Dawn. So within a minute of Yuu's return, Meleonor has already dropped everything she's doing, grabbed the newly awake Dawn, and is preparing to storm the NRC in search of her "sweet war criminal".

Sebek is the only one in all of Diasomnia who is the very last to find out about everything.

[Masterlist, and Weapons of War post]

Hello Anonie 🌺🌷💚

Thank you so much for sharing your Soldier!Yuu. It was such a delight to read about your Yuu. And also, please don’t be nervous to share. I would love to know more and don’t worry about the length. You can always send more than one ask or send them in one go. It’s whatever you’re comfortable with. ☺️🌺🫶

I found it interesting how your Yuu was in the service of the king of BV. Was this Levan or a different king?? Could it have been Maleficia’s husband 🤔🤔 though this does sound like an Twst Au Yuu who then comes into our twst version 🤔🤔 how very interesting.

I like how Meleanor got a family portrait of Yuu and the husbands. As a way for Lilia to always remember his family 😭😭

Lmaooo “my sweet war criminal” that’s adorable!! Yuu and the Queen can definitely be a power duo.

Poor Sebek 🤣🤣 but at least he can enjoy this chaotic family like the rest of us, and be happy he’s not in the middle of it.

Hi! I’ve been carving some skeptic content lately, and I was wonder if you can do a skeptic x reader domestic life + pregnancy fic? Maybe with a dash of family life aswell?

yes yes yes YES i adore a lil domestic skeptic!!! i'm going to change it up a bit to omit pregnancy and just change it to expecting a child (so you can envision it as either pregnancy or adoption!), so that everyone can enjoy!

[Skeptic x GN!Reader]

[Contents: GN!Reader; No gendered descriptions for reader; Written in third person with “[Name]” instead of “y/n” so OCs can be included!; Fluff; Domestic life; Raising a kid.]

[Shoutout to @thotsforvillainrights for their idea on Skeptic's daughter, Tomoko!]

[Content warnings: None I can think of!]

“…A baby?” Tomoyasu repeats the words back to his spouse, pausing his furious typing on his home office computer – a sleek, dual monitor beauty that he considered to be his child. At least for now, since the current conversation was suggesting otherwise. “That’s quite the step in life, dear. Are you sure?”

Over the years, Tomoyasu’s personality had changed drastically since the first time he met his partner. Back then, he would have openly laughed at the idea of being a father, or at being in a relationship in the first place. He was Skeptic of the Meta Liberation Army! The CEO of Feel Good Inc.! A secretive and undercover villain previously wanted by the entire country of Japan! As if he’d ever have the time or security to settle down and start a family, he barely even had the patience to deal with full grown adults.

But, again, that was years ago. Now, he found himself taking more time off, taking better care of himself by sleeping a little more regularly and eating proper meals. Tomoyasu even managed to get rid of the deep bags under his eyes, at least to a level that wasn’t concerning. And it was all thanks to [Name], his wonderfully understanding and patient lover, who would bite back whenever he got snippy with them. It’s because of their kind yet stern care that he was able to develop a healthier routine, slowly breaking down his icy walls until Tomoyasu did the unthinkable: he got married. And now here he was, acting fairly calm and collected when faced with the question of raising their own child, yet another one of life’s options he never considered in the past. Because in all honestly, he wasn’t opposed to the idea.

[Name] offers him an assuring smile, walking in further to the office from their place leaning against the door frame. Tomoyasu then caught a whiff of dinner from the hallway, knowing his spouse must have been mulling over this while cooking. “Right now? Yes. But I’m willing to talk this over more if you want,” they respond, reaching over to push the dark curtain of his bangs back so they could plant a sweet kiss to his forehead.

Tomoyasu hums softly in content at the action, lazily moving his mouse to save the work he had been typing up. “How about we chat more over dinner?” With his partner’s chipper ‘okay!’ as a response, the two of them leave the office.

Dinner was spent discussing the various pros and cons of having a kid, what they would need, how responsibility would be split between them – Tomoyasu even suggested he get a crib for his office at work if he ever needed to babysit, since he likes to keep his office there quiet and off-limits to others. They’d have no shortage of babysitters, either, since Chitose and Koku would be more than delighted to play the part of a rich aunt and uncle. Plus, Rikiya was a huge fan of kids, so if Tomoyasu needed to bring them to an MLA meeting, the commander wouldn’t mind one bit.

Once the two of them were at the point that they were eagerly tossing out name ideas, that’s when Tomoyasu knew what their decision was: they were going to have a baby.

The wait was long and nerve-wracking, the couple spending most of their time setting up a nursery in what used to be the guest room, since they’d be kidding themselves if they said they ever had guests stay the night. When the rest of the MLA heard of the news, Chitose basically demanded they have a baby shower. Tomoyasu was against the idea, but eventually agreed to it as long as it wasn’t over the top and was only between officers of the MLA and the PLF, if they wished to come.

[Name] didn’t mind the party at all, since they were given plenty of gifts that consisted of necessities for the baby: plenty of clothes and supplies from Chitose, coupons for free ‘first time parenting’ classes from Koku, an assortment of books from Rikiya, and even toys from Toga, Twice, and Mr. Compress. By the end, the two of them were fully prepared for their baby.

After all the waiting, the nerves, and the stress of making sure everything was perfect, the little one was finally home… And Tomoyasu has never felt so out of his element. Taking a seat on the couch, he reaches shaky arms upward when [Name] offered to let him hold their little girl, Tomoko.

“Just take a breath and relax, Tomo,” [Name] instructs him, quiet as to not upset the infant in their arms. “You’re not going to hurt her or anything.”

Tomoyasu simply swallows harshly. “Wh- What if she doesn’t like me? What if I make her cry?”

[Name] snorts in amusement at that, taking a seat next to him on their couch to carefully transfer Tomoko into his embrace. “Babies cry, Tomo. That’s, like, their main trait,” they reply. “Don’t worry, I’m right here to help.”

Now with the baby in his arms, Tomoyasu instantly felt all his nerves and worries fade away upon seeing the sleeping face of their daughter. Pudgy cheeks, thin whisps of hair atop her head, and equally tiny hands curled against her chest in her swaddled position. Here he was, a father – a part of life he used to laugh at when he was younger. But now…

Now, he’ll do anything to see their little girl grow up happy.

PART TWO: QUESTIONNAIRE. 

start at the beginning, who are you and why are you important?

"My name is Savannah Rose, I'm a 22 year old from Georgia and I'm a singer."

how long have you been making music?

"It kinda feels like forever. I did pageants as a little girl so my mama had me doing all sorts of singing bits and stuff like that. But when it came to actually playing instruments, I think I was about ten? so 12 years?"

how would you describe the kind of music you make?

"For me it's pretty real and raw. Vulnerable. It's very much just a girl and her guitar vibes right now but I'm trying to work on that."

who are some of your biggest musical influences?

"Honestly, Tay swift is my girl. I love how she just writes her truth and doesn't accept peoples bad behavior. But I really did look up to both Shania and Honey K and Jenna for a long time."

what is the first record you ever bought?

"The first one I ever bought? My dad took me to the midnight release of Red by Taylor Swift at target... My mom was so mad because I was tired and cranky for my pageant the next day, but in the end it was worth it."

what has working in the music industry meant to you thus far in your career?

Savy pulled in a deep breath. The last thing she wanted was to dox herself in an interview. But at the same time it was so hard to care. At least now she was taking off her clothes for more money then she ever made in pageants. "I haven't found much success doing just music yet. I'm hoping to change that soon."

what are some stand out moments from your career so far?

"Well, this interview is probably the biggest one so far."

how would you describe your style of performance? what makes your shows worth seeing?

"I try to make sure everyone is having a good time. I mean you always have those people who who will never be happy, but I'll do everything reasonable to make sure you're having a good time."

what are you still hoping to achieve in your career?

"All I wanna be able to do is make a living doing what I love to do."

what’s next for you?

"Well, honestly I'm hoping to get discovered. Signed onto someone's label so I can put out my very first album and see how it goes from there."

PART THREE: BACKGROUND:

Savannah was an unwanted child. Though you've never know at looking at it from the outside.

Tammy Jo was promising Miss Georgia contestant who had her title stripped from her once she got pregnant unexpectedly from a one night stand.

With a baby on the way, there really wasn't much more that Tammy or Harrison could do other then get married. Even if the two were complete opposites.

Due to her dreams being dashed, Tammy Jo entered her three month old daughter into a beauty pageant, much to the dismay

[rawmanticism]

When Louis first referred to Claudia as his redemption, I figured it was one of those cases where a person who's entirely unhappy with their life (and the choices they've made) wants to redeem themselves through parenthood, by giving their child the life they never had and then proceeds to live through their child and do all kinds of messed up codependent parenting.

But from episode 5 onwards it's becoming more and more clear that he's glossing over or entirely omitting elements of Claudia's story, incidentally all the parts where he betrayed her trust, didn't defend her, or even turned violent towards her. The only times he accuses himself of failing Claudia, he says "we", referring to himself and Lestat together, after it's been established that Lestat abuses Claudia physically and emotionally, which naturally makes Louis look powerless and thus less responsible.

So with all this new information, Claudia is Louis' redemption, in the sense that he's using her story to paint himself as the martyr parent of a "difficult" child, the abused spouse who somehow still has the capacity to love their child fully, but is unable to protect them.

This doesn't change the fact that Louis still is very much a victim of abuse or that he still loved Claudia with everything he had, but he's way too messed up to be a decent parent and more than a little full of shit.

How To Avoid The Nine Common Tax Filing Mistakes?

Avoiding common tax filing mistakes is crucial to ensure your tax return is accurate, timely, and compliant with IRS regulations. Here’s a comprehensive guide to avoid nine common tax filing mistakes:

Mathematical Errors

Mistakes in arithmetic calculations, such as adding or subtracting incorrectly, are common on tax returns. Use tax preparation software or a calculator to perform calculations accurately. Double-check all figures before submitting your return to avoid errors that could delay processing or trigger an IRS notice.

Incorrect or Misspelled Names

Ensure that names and Social Security numbers (SSNs) on your tax return match the exact information on your Social Security card. Misspelled names or incorrect SSNs can lead to processing delays and potential discrepancies with IRS records.

Filing Status Errors

Choose the correct filing status (e.g., single, married filing jointly, head of household) based on your marital status and family situation. Choosing the wrong filing status can affect your tax liability, eligibility for credits, and deductions.

Omitting Income

Report all sources of income earned during the tax year, including wages, self-employment income, interest, dividends, rental income, and retirement account distributions. Ensure you receive and review all necessary forms (e.g., W-2, 1099 forms) to accurately report income. IRS matching systems compare income reported on your tax return with information provided by employers and financial institutions.

Overlooking Deductions and Credits

Take advantage of available deductions (e.g., mortgage interest, charitable contributions, medical expenses) and tax credits (e.g., Child Tax Credit, Earned Income Tax Credit) to reduce your taxable income and overall tax liability. Keep thorough records and documentation to substantiate deductions and credits claimed on your tax return.

Failing to Sign and Date

Sign and date your tax return where required. For joint returns, both spouses must sign. An unsigned return is considered incomplete and may delay processing. Electronic filing options typically require a PIN or electronic signature to authenticate your return.

Mismatched Estimated Tax Payments

If you make estimated tax payments throughout the year, ensure they match the amounts reported on your tax return. Underpayment or overpayment of estimated taxes can result in penalties or delays in receiving refunds.

Incorrect Bank Account Information

If you opt for direct deposit of your tax refund, double-check the accuracy of your bank account and routing numbers. Providing incorrect information can delay your refund or result in the funds being deposited into the wrong account.

Missing Filing Deadline

File your tax return by the deadline to avoid late-filing penalties and interest charges on any taxes owed. For individuals, the usual deadline is April 15th, unless extended due to weekends or holidays. Businesses have different filing deadlines based on their entity type.

Tips to Avoid These Mistakes:

Use Tax Preparation Software: Software programs help minimize errors by guiding you through the filing process and performing calculations automatically.

Review Before Submission: Double-check all entries, calculations, and supporting documentation before submitting your return.

Seek Professional Assistance: Consider consulting with a tax professional offering tax planning for companies in Fort Worth TX, especially for complex tax situations or if you're unsure about specific tax rules.

Stay Informed: Keep up-to-date with changes in tax laws and IRS guidelines that may affect your filing requirements.

By avoiding these common tax filing mistakes and taking proactive steps to ensure accuracy and compliance, you can streamline the tax filing process and minimize potential issues with the IRS. Maintaining organized records and seeking assistance when needed contribute to a smooth tax filing experience and help you maximize your tax benefits.

With tourist visas for berry pickers suspended, the government is looking into alternative paths for foreign workers. On Monday, the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment released a report assessing the economic impact of other employment options, according to Ilta Sanomat.

The report was based on a study conducted by Pellervo Economic Research PTT and the University of Vaasa.

The first option considered was employing berry pickers under a fixed-term contract. While this would provide them minimum wage protection and employment benefits, it wouldn't entirely prevent potential exploitation or debt in the workers' home countries.

The report stated that contractual employment would increase costs for berry companies, potentially forcing some to change their operations or exit the market altogether. This could lead to higher prices for domestic berries.

Another option was self-employment, but it wasn't deemed realistic due to language barriers, and the expense and impracticality involved in registering businesses in Finland.

"It's clear that neither solution alone would end exploitation. Both industry-led responsibility efforts and pre- and post-monitoring by authorities are needed," the final report stated.

The Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment's working group also suggested a third option: adding the harvesting of natural products to the seasonal work regulations and creating an entry pathway for entrepreneur-pickers by defining berry laws.

The government is planning to announce proposals for new rules, and the changes are intended to take effect in the harvest season of 2025.

Tax headaches

Getting an inheritance in Finland could mean taking out a loan to cover the taxes, reports Talouselämä, citing a survey by insurance firm LähiTapiola.

The survey, which polled some 1,000 people, found that 46 percent of respondents had never received an inheritance over the inheritance tax threshold of 20,000 euros and did not expect to receive one.

Some 26 percent had received such an inheritance and 24 percent said they expect to receive one.

Of those who had received or expected to receive taxable inheritances, one in ten said they had to or expected to borrow money to pay the tax bill.

While most of those receiving an inheritance sell inherited assets to pay taxes, this is not always possible. Situations can become tricky when a surviving spouse remains in the family home, but the kids inherit a share of that house, triggering taxes.

"If one of the parents dies and the only inheritable property is the parents' shared home, the adult child has to pay inheritance taxes but may not have the funds to do so. The apartment cannot be sold without the widow's permission, and the situation can continue like this for years or even decades," Veera Lammi of LähiTapiola explained.

While recent reforms mean that inheritance taxes now don't go into enforcement for ten years, up from two years previously, unpaid taxes do accumulate late payment interest of 7.5 percent.

The insurance firm recommends those who accumulate wealth and want their children to inherit should ensure some liquidity is part of their estate, by holding some of their property in easily-sold assets.

That makes things much easier for those who inherit.

Helsingin Sanomat explores slimmed-down Finnish elementary school textbooks.

A 30-year-old elementary teacher compared his old fifth-grade books to those in circulation now. His findings were less than flattering.

"Less text and fewer words. Fewer and simpler assignments. Fewer calculations. The classics have been omitted from current textbooks," HS writes

The fifth-grade teacher told HS that he was astonished by how much expectations have come down in less than twenty years.

The number of math problems in Milli 5, the current 5th-grade math book, is two-thirds of the math book back in the early 2000s. Verbal math problems are also simpler now, according to the teacher.

When it comes to science, the passages are now shorter. In comparing units on the same subject, he found the current book explains the topic in 260 words, whereas the old one used more than 400 to cover it.

"Children nowadays are exposed radically less reading than during my school days," he told HS, adding that books today are more engaging and visually appealing than their predecessors.

[The Memorare to St. Joseph]

Remember,

O most chaste spouse of the Virgin Mary, that never has it been known that anyone who asked for your help and sought your intercession was left unaided.

Full of confidence in your power,

I hasten to you, and beg your protection.

Listen, O foster-father of the Redeemer,

to my humble prayer,

and in your goodness hear and answer me. Amen.

[Prayer to St. Joseph for Protection]

O St. Joseph, whose protection is so great,

so prompt,

so strong,

before the throne of God, I place in you all my interests and desires.

O St. Joseph, do assist me by your powerful intercession,

and obtain for me from your Divine Son

all spiritual blessings, through Jesus Christ, our Lord.

So that, having engaged here below your heavenly power,

I may offer my thanksgiving and homage to the most loving of fathers.

O St. Joseph, I never weary contemplating you and Jesus asleep in your arms;

I dare not approach while he reposes near your heart.

Press him in my name and kiss his fine head for me and

ask him to return the kiss when I draw my dying breath.

St. Joseph, patron of departing souls — pray for me.

Amen.

[The Prayer of Confidence in St. Joseph]

With childlike confidence I present myself before thee, O holy Joseph, faithful foster father of Jesus!

I beg thy compassionate intercession and support in this, my present necessity.

[Name your petition.]

I firmly believe that thou art most powerful near the throne of God,

who chose thee for the foster father of his well-beloved son, Jesus Christ.

O blessed Saint, who saved that treasure of heaven, with his virginal mother, from the fury of his enemies, who with untiring industry supplied his earthly wants and with paternal care accompanied and protected him in all the journeys of his childhood, take me also, for the love of Jesus, as thy child.

Assist me in my present difficulty with thy prayers before God.

The infinite goodness of our savior, who loved and honored thee as his father upon earth, cannot refuse thee any request now in heaven.

How many pious souls have sought help, from thee in their needs and have experienced, to their joy, how good, how ready thou art to assist.

How quickly thou dost turn to those who call upon thee with confidence!

How powerful thou art in bringing help and restoring joy to anxious and dejected hearts!

Therefore,

do I fly to thee,

O most worthy father of Jesus, most chaste spouse of Mary!

Good St. Joseph,

I pray thee by the burning love thou hadst for Jesus and Mary upon earth,

console me in my distress and present my petition, through Jesus and Mary, before the throne of God!

One word from thee will move him to assist my afflicted soul.

Then most joyfully shall I praise him and thee,

and more earnest shall be my thanksgiving! Amen.

[Prayer Before Work to St. Joseph the Worker]

O Glorious Saint Joseph, model of all those who are devoted to labor,

obtain for me the grace to work in a spirit of penance for the expiation of my many sins;

to work conscientiously,

putting the call of duty above my natural inclinations; to work with thankfulness and joy, considering it an honor to employ and develop by means of labor the gifts received from God;

to work with order, peace, moderation, and patience, never shrinking from weariness and trials;

to work above all with purity of intention and detachment from self, keeping unceasingly before my eyes death and the account that I must give of time lost, talents unused,

good omitted, and vain complacency in success,

so fatal to the work of God.

All for Jesus, all through Mary,

all after thy example,

O Patriarch, Saint Joseph.

Such shall be my watch-word in life and in death.

Amen.

so that, supported by your example and your aid, we may be able to live piously,

to die holily, and to obtain eternal happiness in heaven. Amen.

[ Petition for St Joseph's Blessing]

O dearly beloved father,

St. Joseph; bless my body and my soul; bless my resolutions, my words and deeds,

all my actions and omissions,

my every step; bless all that I possess,

all my interior and exterior goods,

that all may redound to the greater honor of God.

Bless me for time and eternity,

and preserve me from every sin.

Obtain for me the grace to make atonement for all my sins by love and contrition here on earth, so that after my last breath I may,

without delay, prostrate at thy feet and return thee thanks in heaven for all the love and goodness thou,

O dearest father,

hast shown me here below.

Amen.

Follow this with the

Lord's Prayer,

Hail Mary

and Glory Be, prayed three times,

in thanksgiving to God for the graces and prerogatives bestowed on St. Joseph.

St. Joseph, pray for us!

Residuary Clause in the Will: Everything You Should Know About 

A residuary clause specifies who will receive the asset or sale profits if a beneficiary is not named in the will or trust. To preserve your assets, you must include a residuary clause in the will and your trust during estate preparation.

When you pass away, it could not be remembered if you neglected to leave a special family artifact to a sibling or a high-value asset to your child. Your family might be forced to go to court and fight over your valued belongings rather than transferring property to your designated heirs.

A Residuary Clause: What Is It?

A residuary clause is a clause in a will or trust that specifies how to distribute assets not otherwise addressed. This clause is useful because it allows you to leave all you own to your beneficiaries without worrying about anything left unclaimed.

Beneficiaries are frequently named for high-value assets like a house, retirement account, or car. There may be assets that you omit to list in your trust or will. Alternatively, you might own a variety of assets like money, possessions, real estate, bank accounts, and life insurance plans. Detailing everything in your estate plan might be time-consuming.

Instead, you might designate your residuary beneficiary in the residuary clause. The language can direct the estate's administrator to give your designated residuary beneficiary ownership of any remaining assets that are not gifted to someone else. The name of the person must appear in the paperwork. If you only specify that you want to leave your child your residual assets when you have three children, this will probably cause misunderstanding.

Why Do I Need a Residuary Clause in My Will?

A residuary clause in the will is essential because it guarantees that all of your estate assets will be dispersed per your final desires. You run the danger of a number of adverse outcomes if you give specified property to specific people without naming a residuary beneficiary, including: The confusing situation involved an asset bequeathed to a named beneficiary who passed away, and there was no other beneficiary. Leaving out assets obtained after the will was signed and then putting family members through the probate process to decide who should get the remaining assets

What Happens if My Contract Doesn't Have a Residuary Clause?

When you leave behind property without naming a beneficiary, your heirs will inherit it pursuant to the laws of intestate succession. That implies that anyone with the legal right to inherit your personal or real property will do so upon your passing. Whether they are a spouse, child, or another eligible descendant, they must file a petition with the probate court, although the judge will likely decide in their favor.

This isn't a problem for some individuals. They wish to safeguard their family's future, and state law will enable heirs to obtain what they are due. The surviving families should be entitled to any property not specified in the will, even if state law mandates going through the probate procedure, which can be time-consuming and challenging.

Others, however, can have difficulties and family strife due to intestate succession. You cannot stop your assets from going to your spouse if you intend to file for divorce but pass away before you revise your will.

Eight Issues to watch out for as you prepare to have your income tax return filed

      Eight Issues to watch out for as you prepare to have your income tax return filed

Tax season comes with stress, and one could make mistakes. Some of these errors could be simple, but they can cost you a lot- you may lose out on a larger refund, incur interest and penalties, or an audit could show up! To prevent situations like this, you should avoid errors on your tax returns.

Here are the top 8 filing errors to avoid.

Not double-checking basic information:

While no one is above mistakes, you can prevent some errors with a second look. As ridiculous as it sounds, some taxpayers can misspell their names, spouses, and dependents! This error could happen when they are typing too fast. Other common mistakes related to basic information include: omitting or including a middle initial that doesn't reflect what's on your social security card, trying to recall social security numbers off heart, or even forgetting to include it on a return. Ensure you recheck all information on your tax forms. 

Disparity in the information reported to you and the IRS

Wages, dividends, bank interest, and other income reported on an information return (W-2, 1099, K-1, etc.) should be carefully entered. These forms have also been reported to the IRS, and the government's computers are searching for matches in the information you reported with what they have. If you need to dispute what was reported to you, contact the company that made the payment (for example, your employer) and request a corrected form.

3. Maths or Clerical Error:

A math error can be a slight mistake such as subtraction or addition on your return. However, it could be referring to more complex errors. The IRS says math errors are among the most common tax filing errors. Also, how you input these numbers could cause maths errors. For instance, to input negative numbers, some forms might use parentheses while others might use a minus sign. Always check the IRS instructions before imputation. Also, ensure you input whatsoever information you have on the right line.

4. Not taking maximum advantage of credits and deductions:

A tax credit is an amount you can deduct from a tax bill. On the other hand, a tax deduction is an amount you can deduct from your taxable income to reduce your tax bill. There are so many deductions and credits accessible to taxpayers. Sadly, some taxpayers fail to utilize some tax benefits to their advantage. Take, for example, the Home Office deduction. Some uninformed eligible taxpayers may be reluctant to claim this deduction because they fear it might trigger an audit. Another commonly missed tax credit is the Earned Income Tax Credit. This tax credit is available to low and moderate-income workers. According to the IRS, 1 in 5 eligible taxpayers does not claim this tax credit. Consult with an IRS-licensed tax professional. They are knowledgeable on tax credits and deductions that can reduce your tax bill.

5. Selecting the Wrong Filing Status

There are five filing statuses: Single, married filing jointly, married filing separately, head of household, qualifying widow(er) with dependent child. Each filing status has its eligibility requirement. It might be easy for some individuals to select a filing status. For some others, it might not be straightforward since they qualify for more than one status. Whatever the case, when you select an incorrect filing status, you may receive a lower refund than you are entitled to, or the IRS may flag your return. Hence, if you qualify for more than one filing status, selecting the status that will reduce your tax bill is advisable.

6. Entering the Wrong account number:

 The IRS disclaims all liability for mistakes made by taxpayers or tax preparers on errors like this. Hence, always ensure your bank routing and account numbers are correct when filing your return. Entering an incorrect number could delay your refund. There are some instances where some taxpayers lost their refunds. Before signing and filing your return, review your bank routing and account numbers with a fine-tooth comb.

7. Choosing to ignore extensions:

The IRS is prepared to provide an extension grace for you. Accepting a tax extension gives you a six-month grace period to file your returns. Hence, if you cannot meet the deadline, filing a Form 4868 rather than a tax return filled with errors is preferable.

8. Forgetting to sign your return:

According to the IRS, regardless of whether you file electronically or use a paper tax return, your return must be signed to be considered valid (you "sign" those returns using a PIN). If you have already submitted the return without a signature, then you have not filed a valid return. If you file jointly with your spouse, ensure both of you sign the return.

There are many common errors during tax filing. Now that you are informed about these errors, hoping you don't make them this filing season.

Estate Planning Attorney In Mount Pleasant, Utah

An heir is one who stands to inherit from a person after that person dies. What rights an heir has to any inheritance are governed by the probate laws of the state in which the decedent lived. Probate laws differ significantly between states; consult a qualified probate attorney in your area if you need legal advice about your rights as an heir or beneficiary. An heir is entitled to receive property from a decedent’s intestate estate. When a person dies, all the property the person left behind is referred to as the estate. An intestate estate is one in which the decedent did not leave behind a valid last will and testament. If the decedent doesn’t leave behind a will, state law determines who inherits property regardless of the decedent’s desires.

If a person dies without a will, her heirs inherit the estate. However, the manner in which this happens differs between states and is based on the relationship of the heir with the decedent. For example, in Utah, a decedent’s spouse inherits the entire estate if the decedent left no children, or if all the children are descendents of both the decedent and surviving spouse. If a decedent leaves behind a valid will, the intestate succession laws no longer govern who receives property. Instead, the will determines who the heirs are. In general, a person can choose to give away his properties to anyone he wants and can choose to disinherit children or relatives. One exception to this rule is the spouse’s elective share. An elective share is a percentage of the estate a spouse is automatically entitled to regardless of whether the decedent included her in the will. This effectively means a person cannot disinherit a spouse. An heir is commonly thought of as someone who receives money or property from a person who has died. Technically, heirs are the next of kin and are the people who would benefit if the person died without leaving a will. The succession of heirs is based on direct descendants, such as children or grandchildren. Other relatives, such as sisters and brothers, or aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and cousins, are called collateral heirs. A beneficiary is a person or an organization, such as a charity, named to receive assets from an estate.

Heirs aren’t necessarily beneficiaries of a deceased person’s estate unless they are named in the will. For example, a child who would naturally be an heir could be accidentally omitted from a will or deliberately disinherited. An inadvertent admission can be challenged by a descendant claiming to be an heir.

The Rights of Heirs-at-Law

An heir-at-law is anyone who’s entitled to inherit from someone who dies without leaving a last will and testament or other estate plans. This status can be an important factor not only in settling an estate but in determining who might be entitled to challenge or contest a will when the deceased does leave one.

Who Is an Heir-at-Law?

When a decedent does leave a will but glaringly omits someone who would have inherited if he had died intestate, this individual has standing to challenge or contest the will in court. Not just anyone can do this standing means the individual has some financial stake in the estate. This might be the case if the deceased left his entire estate to one child and omitted mention of his other child entirely in his will an heir-in-law would qualify. Status as an heir-in-law does not necessarily mean that a lawsuit to overturn the will would be successful. The heir-at-law would also have to establish that the deceased didn’t intentionally omit him from the will, disowning him. An heir-in-law isn’t automatically entitled to inherit when there’s a will that doesn’t mention him, but only if the decedent had died without any will at all. A surviving spouse is an exception to this rule. All states but not all prohibit a married individual from disowning his spouse and they have laws in place to make sure she receives her fair share of his estate. She’s always an heir-at-law, but she would not have to contest the will to claim her share. She would have to bring the omission to the attention of the probate court, however, usually by filing a claim. Exactly who qualifies as an heir-at-law can depend on where the decedent died and what he owned. The rules are established individually by each state so they can differ a little. Most states’ laws are very similar, however. Heirs-at-law and their rights to inherit are typically decided in an order called “intestate succession.” The more closely related you are to a decedent, the more likely it becomes that you are an heir-at-law.

Other Relatives —”Collateral Heirs”

The deceased’s parents, siblings, grandparents and other next of kin would inherit only if he left no surviving spouse, children or grandchildren. Intestate succession usually occurs in that order. These people are considered “collateral heirs” because they would only inherit if no more immediate relatives are living.

When it appears that someone has died without any known heirs-at-law, some states require that a special notice be run in the newspaper, alerting individuals to come forward if they believe they are related to the decedent. These people can then file requests with the court for determinations of heir-ship which would give them a legal right to inherit. Some companies specialize in searching out and identifying next of kin and heirs-at-law, and sometimes a simple review of the decedent’s personal paperwork can impart clues. If no heirs-at-law can be identified, the decedent’s estate would typically escheat to the state. In other words, the state would receive his property.

Beneficiary

A beneficiary is a person or organization who receives money or property because someone specifically names them in their Will or trust. Beneficiaries can include charities, places of worship, a decedent’s close friend or even his pet cat. If you are specifically named in a Will, you are considered a beneficiary. You can be a beneficiary who is also an heir, but not all heirs are beneficiaries.

A beneficiary has the right to receive the share he got under the will in a timely manner and to receive written notice of the probate proceedings. How long it takes the executor to settle an estate depends on various factors, including the estate’s size and what type of property the decedent owned. For example, if the decedent owned real estate and the property must be sold, the executor has to put the property up for sale, find a buyer and close the deal. In this case, the beneficiaries may have to wait months before receiving the sale proceeds. Will beneficiaries are entitled to information about the estate, including the property the decedent owned and the property’s values and his debt.

A beneficiary may ask the executor for an account of what he’s done on behalf of the estate. An account should be in writing, and the executor is expected to provide supporting papers, such as receipts or canceled checks for payments, proof of asset transfers and statements from any estate bank accounts. The supporting papers must match up with the information on the account the executor provides. The will beneficiaries are entitled to an executor who performs his duties fully and honestly.

An executor must not act in a way that harms the estate. He cannot favor one beneficiary over another, behave in a dishonest or illegal manner or fail to live up to his legal obligations. A will beneficiary may petition the court if she believes the executor isn’t performing his duties properly, but she must have proof to support her complaint. For example, if she believes the executor is taking money from the estate to cover personal expenses, she’ll need financial statements that back up this allegation. If the court agrees with the beneficiary, the court may remove the executor and revoke his authority.

Beneficiaries have the right to approve or deny the level of compensation an executor requests for his services. Not all executors are paid; a relative may act as executor and waive compensation. If the court granted an executor’s compensation request before the estate is settled without the beneficiaries’ approval, the beneficiaries may challenge the amount later. If the court finds the executor received an excessive amount of compensation, the executor may have to pay the beneficiaries back with interest.

Rights of Heirs & Beneficiaries

Beneficiaries are entitled to: • Information about the estate, including the property the decedent owned and the property’s values and the decedent’s debt. Such information is normally furnished on an inventory. • See a copy of the will itself. (The original is normally filed with the court after death.) • Ask the personal representative for an account of what he or she has done on behalf of the estate. An account should be in writing, and the personal representative generally must provide supporting documentation if requested to do so.

A personal representative must put the interests of the estate in front of the personal representative’s own interests and must act with the utmost honesty. Beneficiaries have the right to be treated fairly and equally. The personal representative may not favor one beneficiary over another. Technically there is no time limit for closing an estate. It may take some time before a personal representative distributes property to the beneficiaries depending on the complexity of the asset holdings, the number of creditors, and whether there are any taxes due. Nonetheless, a personal representative who delays distribution of estate assets without a good reason is not fulfilling his or her duty.

The most important reason to understand the difference between an heir and a beneficiary is that it illustrates the need to plan an estate and ensure that property is passed to the decedent’s desired individuals. Assets that are incorrectly addressed or not addressed at all may be given to heirs, rather than beneficiaries. This often occurs when an estate owner does not correctly plan their estate by creating a legal Trust with the help of qualified probate court attorneys who help decedents leave their property subject to a Will that will go through the probate process. Attorneys knowledgeable in probate law advice that documenting and assigning assets through a Last Will and Testament or legal Trust, allow a person to know that their assets will be distributed as they designate. Each document has its own benefits; using them together can be beneficial because it in many cases provides the best asset protection for an individual. For those leaving property to specific individuals, organizations, or anyone other than direct family members, a Trust should be considered for assigning such beneficiaries as recipients. By setting up a Trust, where beneficiaries are assigned as partial trustees before the estate owner passes, probate can be avoided. Trusts are powerful documents, giving estate owners the most control over asset distribution upon their death, without involving the courts in these sensitive and emotional decisions.

Prudent estate planning with knowledgeable attorneys can begin at any time; experienced wills and probate lawyers suggest this is something that should begin as early as possible. Differentiating beneficiaries from heirs to be sure they receive assets designated for them is something very important in probate law and requires careful consideration with the help of probate attorneys.

The part of a deceased person’s estate that is given to an heir is known as an inheritance. This can involve cash, stocks, bonds, real estate and other personal property such as automobiles, furniture and jewelry. There are many specific types of heir, such an heir apparent, the person supposed or expected to receive an inheritance; a presumptive heir, someone who’d get an inheritance unless a child was born to the property owner first; adoptive heir, a legally adopted child who has the same rights as natural child of the parents; a collateral heir, a relative who isn’t a direct descendant but is a family member.

As is my want, I was presented the question of 'would my ocs make decent parents' and ran with it

Naielle - Of the three, Naielle has a big advantage, which is that she has a partner, and she has siblings with children. These are only minor advantages as there are Extenuating Circumstances, but still!

As an aunt, I think she'd be alright. She's got a generally friendly demeanour, and she's got a lot of knowledge about a bunch of fields that she can use to tell stories. And her instinct to lie by omission would be decent for storytelling, since she would naturally omit more unsuitable stuff. She wouldn't be the most exciting aunt, but she'd be nice. That said any niblings of hers would probably prefer Xistina's more relaxed and charismatic energy. But also, Naielle's competition for best aunt/uncle/entil(?) is not very competitive, barring her twin brother, who would be an EXCELLENT uncle.

As a parent, the advantage is that I know her wife, and so I think that collectively the two would be good parents. Naielle would be the somewhat stricter one, the sort who would double and triple check that you've packed everything for school today, and Xistina would be a lot more relaxed and also absolutely the one you'd turn to if you need a mum to go yell at a teacher. I wouldn't be surprised if any kids tend to divulge more to Xistina than Naielle, but I don't think Naielle would be offended by that, and she'd just try and support her kids the best she can, in her little ways. I think as a duo they'd work well.

Florian - Ignoring the fact Florian has no siblings and taking uncle as more of a state of mind, Florian would be an exceptional uncle. He has a vested interest in keeping kids safe and letting them explore and fuck around and fuck up, because of his own childhood experiences. He might not be the most charismatic guy, but he'd be very genuine, and he'd absolutely be willing to play house or whatever with the kids. And he tries very hard to present himself well around kids, trying to be careful with his language, and he doesn't always succeed and i think that'd be very fun for a kid. like :O! Uncle Florian said a bad word! and he's desperately trying to shush them before they gleefully go tell their parents about it while he dies inside. Also he'd spoil his niblings rotten, he might not buy the best gifts but by god he buys gifts!!

As a parent, this is complicated by the fact Florian is notably single and has never had a partner. I'm not sure he'd be great as a single parent, without anyone else (doesnt have to be a spouse, just like, Some Folks). It would VERY much depend on who he has as support, because I think his instinct to try and play it safe around kids would translate into a very overthinking and overworried approach to parenting, particularly as he would try VERY VERY HARD not to become his own father. So it'd be important that there's at least one other person there to be a bit more relaxed about the whole affair.

Ignoring the worry, I think he'd be pretty good? He'd be very earnest about it, and he'd try very hard to support his kids' interests. He strikes me as the kind of dad to offer to help with homework and then it turns into the kid teaching him how to do the math, which is a WAY of helping with the homework but probably not what Florian had in mind. Depending on how things go he'd probably feel a bit insecure about not being able to properly help the kid due to his limited knowledge, and he'd be trying reasonably hard to NOT have his kid grow up to be a mercenary.

He also strikes me as the sort to adopt an orphaned kid, maybe not with that as the intention at the outset but that's absolutely how it'd go. Intervenes in some bandit shit, finds a kid, escorts them back to town, oops ive adopted a child, that's the vibe.

Zimri - ???????? Zimri would be an okay entil (? pls gender neutral aunt/uncle i suffer), especially if the kid is a nerd. That said, Zimri has siblings, and their entire family are nerds, so Zimri's specific niche of being a dispensary of random knowledge and a finder of good kids books isnt especially unique. Outside of their specific family, Zimri would be a good entil for a nerdy kid, and would be especially good if the kid hates being talked down to. Because Zimri wouldn't adapt their speech for the kid at all. You want to know how boats work? Well I know a few things (insert ramble about the various kinds of sails). Smth of that nature. And if the kids interested in something Zimri doesn't know much about, they'd be the type to go buy a book to do some research so they can talk to the kid about it!

I'm unconvinced they'd be a good parent, though. Partly because I don't see Zimri as the type to settle down and have kids, which is mostly bc Zimri isn't a very charismatic person or like. good with people? So you have to engage via knowledge. Idk. It'd depend on who else is there, what village erects to raise the children, but Zimri themself isn't an exceptional parent, I don't think.

What If Husband Signed Wrong Signature Divorce Papers?

A divorce decree from the proper judge is required in order to be divorced legally. Hindu law recognizes two types of divorce:

Mutual Divorce: In a divorce by mutual consent, the parties sign a joint petition stating that they have been apart for more than a year and agree to separate. This divorce does not take place in court.

No petition for a consensual divorce may be entertained during the first year of marriage. The couple must appear in court after filing for divorce so the judge can assess the mutual divorce process. The judge now has the authority to waive the cooling-off period, which was previously necessary throughout the entire process. In India, divorce by mutual consent is the quickest, most respectful, and most dignified method of obtaining a legal separation because in this situation, both partners who voluntarily accept all they believe it would be impossible for them to cohabit happily, thus they have agreed on the terms and conditions of a joint petition for legal separation. Such a petition includes provisions for support, custody of the kid, asset division, housing for the spouse, and other matters.

Disputed Divorce: A contested divorce is a divorce in which one partner files for divorce and is prepared to separate from the other partner but the other partner does not want to. In such a situation, the divorce processes are handled in front of a court, and the judge, not the partners, decides on issues like property disputes, child custody, maintenance, and alimony.

Grounds on which divorce petition can be rejected:

Unresolved custody disputes: Children are the most innocent victims of a marriage breakup. When a couple is getting ready to divorce, they frequently lose sight of the child's needs in their quest to win the divorce or end the marriage quickly.

Uncontested divorce: According to some provisions of Hindu law, a person may file for divorce even if their spouse is not willing to grant it. Your petition can be rejected if those justifications are brought up in court but not supported by sufficient documentation or other evidence.

Fraudulent Consent: The free consent of both spouses is the most crucial component of mutual divorce. If there is any evidence that the permission was fraudulently obtained by coercion, etc., the judge may reject the divorce petition.

Incorrect Filing: When handling civil disputes like adoption, marriage, and other family matters, Indian courts adhere to a strict procedural rule. Your divorce case may be rejected if some procedures are improperly completed, such as by omitting necessary stamps and documents.

Not excessive exceptional suffering or depravity: According to Hindu law, a person may file for divorce from their marriage if they are experiencing extraordinary hardship or depravity. The creation of situations that make it impossible to live with the spouse is considered exceptional hardship or depravity. Couples may go through extreme adversity or depravity, such as committing acts of physical or mental abuse, having affairs, divorcing, or being afflicted by mental disease.

Wrong signature on divorce papers:

It may be deemed improper filing and the divorce papers may be invalidated if the husband accidentally signed the wrong name on the divorce papers. If the wrong signature was done malignantly then you can file FIR against the husband on the charges of forgery. It will amount to a serious case of tempering with the justice system. It all depends upon the intention of the husband while signing divorce papers.

Every married couple experiences the most painful event in their lives when they get divorced. No one wants to go through this time, but when it comes, there is no getting out of it. Because of this, it is crucial to understand our rights and obligations, what to do when a divorce petition is filed, etc.

Can a child be excluded from a will?

Can a child be excluded from a will?

Leaving out a child from a will may be done intentionally or it may be accidental. In either case, a child is entitled to a share of the estate. If the omission was accidental, the judge may assume that the parent made a mistake. If the omission was intentional, the child may have to go through the probate process in order to claim his or her inheritance. The best way to exclude a child from a will is to expressly state that the child is disinherited. This statement is a legal document that leaves no doubt in the courtroom.

Duress

If the parent was under duress, the child may also contest the will. Duress can include anything from physical restraints to threats of physical harm. If the parent was under duress, the parent may have been under the influence of a trusted individual. The child may also have a mental condition that makes him or her vulnerable. If a person has a mental illness, the doctor should make sure that the records are free of mind-altering drugs.

Trust

Trust is another way to ensure that your wishes are carried out. A trust is not publicly available and it is not subject to the same judicial scrutiny that a will is. A trust is also a less likely avenue for a disinherited family member to contest the will. However, trust is still not guaranteed to be challenge-proof. If a disinherited family member does choose to challenge the trust, he or she will need to provide proof that the trust was not properly executed.

Disinherit

If a parent has a large estate, he or she may wish to exclude certain relatives from inheriting. These relatives may include siblings, friends, and close relatives. An individual may also disinherit a child if he or she has large financial needs. A child may be disinherited because of a parent's abusive behavior, or if the parent was absent during the child's childhood. Disinheritance is also an effective means of protecting a parent's estate from litigation. This is especially true if the parent has large financial needs.

Inheritance

The legal custom is to regard children as heirs. However, if a parent has a large estate and no children, then the estate is likely to go to his or her spouse and other relatives. This can create an opportunity for a disinherited family member to claim his or her inheritance. In New York, a disinherited child is entitled to receive an elective share of the estate. This can be as high as one-third of the assets in the estate.

Omitted children

Omitted children are also entitled to a share of the estate. These children are those who were born after the will was written. If a will was written but the child was not born at that time, then the child is entitled to an intestate share. A child can also inherit from a trust. If the trust is invalid, then the disinherited child may receive a portion of the estate.

Naming the Tension We’ve All Been Wrestling With LYSA TERKEURST

Lee en español

“Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.” 1 John 3:18 (NIV)

There is a word I haven’t dared to use when I’ve faced relationship issues or tensions in the past. I’ve avoided it. I’ve been afraid to name it. I’ve ignored it when possible.

The word is dysfunction.

Now … let me confess something: I have dysfunctions. Other people I know have dysfunctions. All humans alive have dysfunctions. It shouldn’t scare us when we acknowledge that dysfunctions exist. But we should be concerned when someone lives as if dysfunctions are normal.

Ahem. I’m pointing at myself here.

I’m reminded of a time when my sister came to visit. My family had just finished a few renovations where some of the wiring in our house had to be reworked. For some reason our water heater would no longer work unless the back floodlights of our house were turned on. So if you were enjoying your hot shower and someone turned off the floodlights — wham! — cold water was very quickly making you cringe, scream and yell downstairs for someone to turn the floodlights back on.

Hello, dysfunction.

My sister tilted her head and said, “Lysa, you know that’s weird, right? You do know an electrician would be able to fix that, right?”

Technically, I knew an electrician could fix the problem. But that wasn’t my automatic response. Calling an electrician would cost money, and when I was growing up, that wouldn’t have been an option for my family. So this thought process got ingrained in me that it’s better to get scrappy and navigate around problems rather than pay to fix them.

But this isn’t just about floodlights and hot water. It’s about what the floodlights-and-hot-water situation represents. It’s about no longer being aware of just how dysfunctional things have become and reacting as if something is normal when it absolutely is not. Dysfunction means things aren’t working correctly.

In other words, something gets in the way of how things ought to be. For example, a mother is supposed to parent her child. But it is a dysfunction when a child has to parent their mother. Another example is when a spouse is expected to be not just a partner but a savior of the other spouse. Or when one friend’s happiness is dependent on another friend making them feel OK all the time.

And when we trip over areas of our relationships that just don’t feel right, we have a choice: We can use the conflict and tension to make us more aware of our issues or totally ignore what the other person is saying and stay wrongly convinced that this will get better on its own.

But it won’t.

Appropriately addressing the issue is healthy. Ignoring the issue increases the likelihood of dysfunction.

I love how 1 John 3:18 instructs us in the importance of loving and living in relationships in truth: “Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.” When this isn’t the case and we find ourselves in a relationship where truth is manipulated, denied or partially omitted for the sake of covering up behaviors that should be addressed, dysfunctions may not just be difficult … They may become destructive.

We then run the risk of a pattern of wrongs being tolerated as acceptable because over time they start to feel less alarming, more acceptable and eventually our version of “normal.” And while the issues with my hot water were more of an inconvenience, the dysfunctions hiding out in my relationships and life could be truly detrimental.

Friend, I don’t know how these words may be resonating with you personally today, but here’s what I want to say to you: Dysfunctions may be inevitable. All relationships may be difficult at times. But they should not be detrimental to our well-being.

I know how hard all of this can be, but this is where I am learning healed hearts and healthier relationships begin. They begin when we choose to stop ignoring dysfunctional, maybe even destructive, patterns and when we get honest. When we choose to bring these issues into the light and address them in equal measures of both grace and truth. When we pursue healthy boundaries and see them as the way to love others well without losing the best of who we are.

We don’t have to be afraid of naming the tensions we’re already wrestling with. Healthy honesty isn’t trying to hurt us. It’s trying to heal us.

God, help me not avoid or become numb to the dysfunction that may be present in some of my relationships. Even when naming it, addressing it or confronting it feels overwhelming or even impossible, remind me that I am not alone. You are with me. Give me the courage to have the conversations I need to have. Give me wisdom and discernment. I want to live in the health You desire for me to experience in my relationships. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
