My Strange Inheritance

At 33 I was still single doing very well career wise, not really trying on the relationship side of my life. My parents died when I was 16 in a car accident, I was at boarding school. It was my father's father (widower) who looked after, my mother's parents were in the same accident and died as well as my parents. I went on to college done well in just about everything. Dated plenty of girls no long-term relationships developed. Then started my career and became focused on it. Still dated not really interested in a long-term relationship. Then my grandfather got very ill, he kept asking when I would settle down and marry. I answered when I find the right woman, anyway he passed away (April 2019) I (then 28) still wasn't in any long-term relationship. At the reading of his will, I got a shock. There was an extra clause attached, I'd to marry and have a child before I could inherit everything as I was always going too. No time limit just my inheritance was kept away from me until the condition was met. I was taken aback at first, thought I could challenge the will and have the condition removed. But thinking on it further decided not to challenge it, it wasn't such an unacceptable condition. So, after a few years I decided to try and find myself a suitable woman to marry. The women I knew mostly weren't high on my list of possibles. Only one I'd any real respect for, was 28 at the time has a kind and gentle nature and loved animals. We'd never dated, nor did she date at all as far as I knew at the time. So, I first asked her out on a date and got rejected, reason my reputation with women. She didn't want to one of my rejects you could say, as I usually got what I wanted and moved onto the next woman. But I kept trying and finally got a date, a business function I'd to attend and needed a date short notice. So, it was more of a work-related event than an actual date. But I'd behaved myself enough to get an actual date with her. Behaving myself on the date led to a second then a third, fourth date I usually try and succeed in having sex with date. I didn't try it with her but did on the seventh date and succeeded. We were also seen as an actual couple, as I usually change woman after the fourth or sometimes the fifth. Never had a sixth date before with the same woman, rarely a fifth date for that matter. I also really liked her company, I started thinking of asking her to move in with me. Changed my mind and asked her to marry me instead, she accepted, and we married November 2023. Small wedding due to my lack of family members, but friends did attend. She got pregnant in February, and we now have a beautiful daughter. I'd forgotten about the inheritance and the condition, as it wasn't top of mind for quite a bit of time. Decided to create a will as till then I hadn't bothered. I went to the lawyers my family had always used, with my wife and new daughter to have a will made. my wife was going to have hers done also. It was at the meeting with the lawyer I was asked about the condition of my late grandfather's will being completed that I realized it had been. The pure fact I hadn't race to the lawyers on my wife getting pregnant showed how I'd forgotten about it. I thought it would be too much extra work on my full workload to administer myself and so made my wife the solo administrator. She was shocked by the inheritance but accepted being the administrator. She had left work to raise our daughter fulltime. She said she could do both raise our daughter and administer the inheritance. To save on updating our wills each time we had a child we used heirs instead an actual name. So, if we'd 1 or 4 children they would all be covered I said it when suggesting smiling at my wife said same in my will. Later this year we will start on our next child, once our daughter is weened. The inheritance is great, by my wife and daughter come first second third and so forth the inheritance runs a distant tenth or lower in my mind.
