“Why didn’t he?”
Fiona looked at him carefully.
“Because he decided that giving you an inheritance while you were still depending on him would not be an act of love.
It would be an invitation to continue avoiding difficult decisions.”
Logan felt the old shame rise in his chest.
“Is there anything left for me?”
“That is not the right question.”
He looked away.
Fiona’s voice softened.
“There is a revised estate plan.
Albert has not disinherited you, Logan.
But he has removed the beneficiary designation that gave you immediate access to the investment account upon his death.
His remaining assets will be placed in a trust.
You may receive distributions later, but only after his care needs are covered and only according to terms designed to preserve his independence.”
“Why would he do that?”
“Because he wants you to inherit something that does not control your choices.”
