2 years ago I asked for a raise at the corporation I work at for the last 18 years.
They gave me 10% of the company, but I don't see the money until the company is sold.
Unfortunately, I was diagnosed with cancer a few weeks ago.
Can this percentage be left to my wife in my Will?
Thank You

I had a car get stolen and I wasn't notified by the lender that it was recovered, because I could've paid for it then to avoid this. I'd like to respond and say that this feels predatory and try to find an agreement to settle the matter.
