Reading of will

[Newbie Guest]

If my grandma were to add to her will as a condition for distribution of additional inheritance monies for $xx amount to any grandchildren who are married @ time of death, and any grandchildren married AND with child(ren) shall receive an additional amount of $xx per child, at time of death. Without listing any conditions in regard to whether said great-grandchild is a step-grandchild (by marriage) or blood relation, nor any conditions or specifications as to duration of marriage AFTER grandma's death. Then within a 10 month period after her passing, a marriage that received the additional monies were to terminate, will that $xx amount of money be considered community property in the state of California. Also, in the case of inheritance being sole and separate property, will this portion of inheritance have any impact on any or all inheritance?

I suggest you consult an attorney.

You can't interpret intent on any will by simply discussing pieces of said will.

An attorney that practices in wills and estates should be consulted about this.

It's very complex, and not a yes or no.

The other issue is if there is a VALID will.

Just because you think it's VALID, doesn't make it so.
