Inheritance fight

Any fellow Zig Forumslets have experience of a family being torn apart by inheritance? grandparent dying, one sibling wants the entire inheritance whilst others vying for a fair share, cousins and entire family turning into factions over money etc? I am simply shocked at what I am seeing

This is why wills exist. Did your grandparent not have one or something?

>one sibling wants the entire inheritance
this is why you have a will, let the grandparent decide who they deem worthy of inheritance; just because people are related does not _entitle_ them to anything

hivemind and checked

Your sibling sounds like a top class cunt user. My siblings and I got an equal division of my grandmother's inheritance. Now my brother is a complete waster who's completely fucked his life but even I wouldn't try and contest my late grandmother's last will for financial gain. Did your grandparent die without leaving one or something?

i agree he should have, but now he has lost mental capacity completely, shit is fucked up

Going through that now. Grandad mega rich. Has dementia, its so bad now that he can barely put words together. It breaks my heart. He was self made and the only person I respected.

All his kids are acting like vultures and have been changing his will left and right.

I'm pretty sure I'm being cut out. But I felt due a handout. I want to make it on my own.

Seeing them act like this has really jaded me. I just want to talk to my grandad again. He was very smart, handsome and had a good sense of humor. One day, it'll be the last time you talk to someone. And you'll never that was your last moment together.

Is there a will?
Is the other grandparent still alive?
Is there an executor?
Do the assets consist mainly of property, or cash holdings?

Too many questions for a forum like this. Seek legal advice because this will most likely be decided by a judge.

sorry to hear friend, money easily changes weak people and strong alike; enjoy what time you can with your grandfather
I hope this works out for you and your relatives

I never felt due a handout*

On family get together I always noticed them campaigning for his favor. Very fake. I hope he saw through it and fucks them over.

But it looks like that's not going to be the outcome. I have some evil bitches in my family.

You're browsing Zig Forums and asking why people want money over relationship?

Imagine being such a pushover you allow 'evil bitches' who ruined your grandfathers final moments on this Earth (and fucked you over in the process) to flourish.
You're pathetic and the moral highground you're trying to use to excuse your cowardice doesn't exist. You are rewarding evil behaviour. Grow a fucking spine.

My grandfather died last month

The family flought over the inheritance when he first got sick last year so at least we didn't have to go through that when he actually did pass

pretty much same situation, except my dad wants only his fair share, one sibling is hell bent on taking all of it, and some others have just stopped contact, so who knows what their intentions are, probably bad
Just last christmas we were around the table having a great time, and then the prospect of money turns people into animals

I don't think I'll get a single cent from anyone honestly, my inheritance will probably be spent housing my parents in a nursing home like there's was housing theirs

Does your grandfather have any family heirlooms?
Those are the things that I really wish our side of the family had inherited from my grandfather, let the soulless vultures steal the money

thanks alot fren

play a game of monopoly using only the amount of money in the inheritance.

Man its way too much to explain here. I cried last time I talked to him on the phone 3 days ago.

I don't think you understand this situation clearly.

And even if they get it all, those miserable cunts will still be miserable cunts. There's not much to be done. 2 of my aunts already drove rich men to their early graves. One suicide. They've already allied and are going for the kill. They've been planning for years and I've been avoiding everyone since.

At this point I'm just thankful for the time I had with him. I visited regularly.

I'm not hurting financiallt and have a bright future ahead.

You're fucking pathetic.

he has a few tables that he made himself 40+ yrs ago, and a chair his father made maybe 90 yrs ago. They are fantastic but thankfully they wont care about that they just want his house + money

You have to rise above the pettiness. People can completely lose sight of what is really important when money, especially unearned money, is at stake. Everyone wants something for nothing, and this instinct can completely override characters until even things like family are meaningless in comparison.
Don't stoop to that level of squabbling, bitching, in-fighting, whatever. Your only opinion, even if you absolutely hate every last member of your family, should be an even split of everything. Even if you personally cared for your grandfather his entire life, and your relatives were lowlives who openly despised him, you should still be amicable and try be above it all. If you are outwardly reasonable, respectful, and fair, you will (hopefully) impress upon your relatives that money isn't everything.
That won't work every time, and your relatives may still act like leeches, but at the very least it will leave less of a bitter taste in your mouth when you think back on your grandfather and all he did for your family. And at the end of the day, even if they take every last penny, that's what's really important.

It did not turn them into animals, it has revealed to you who they really are. Never be dissapointed to learn the teuth no matter how grim. Consider yourself fortunate to know who among your family are snakes, this is a blessing.

>one sibling wants the entire inheritance
Its a woman isn't it

very true. thank you

Only two experiences I've had were

1) GPa dying; his possessions were ransacked by 2/3 of my mom's sisters, but all of the important stuff was already in my mom's and my good aunt's names

2) Dad dying; he left specific instructions on what to do with insurance money and other stuff, mom followed them 100%, worked out very well.

I've heard about a shit ton of squabbles and such in various parts of my extended family, even when there was a will, there's some fucked up people out there

the sibling who wants it all is a faggot
even if they cared more for the deceased they are just trying to monetize love rather than earn their own living

If you are backing the side of the sibling who wants it all then fuck you OP.

Yeah, we had a nasty one a couple years ago with my dad's half-brother (a son from my grandpa's first marriage).

of course not... fair split is the only way

My old step dad died, I found out he didn't want to give me anything but my mum forced him to give me and my brother equal amounts, All his kids went sour and I have never seen them since the day he died

Jesus. When my father died a couple years ago money didn't even cross my fucking mind. I just drank myself into oblivion for a couple months. My sister and mother had to drag me to the lawyers office to sort the financial shit out. I don't even know how the fuck was stuff divided. Mom is thankfully still alive, so I assume she's managing it all. I know my sister will get the family home when it's time. She was the responsible one, she helped with everything when I fell to pieces, so its only just.

I don't deserve, nor do I want handouts from my family. I've never done anything to help them, and for almost a decade now I haven't asked them for any help either. Christ, I haven't spoken to my mom in three or four months.

Thanks for reading my blog, I'm gonna go call her now.

Lawyer up?

It's important to stay in touch with family. Good on you.

It's a bad feel.
Mother died, sister and I have pretty much avoided each other for almost fifteen years. She hates me for some reason, I tried several times to ignore it and get us all together for my mother's happiness, at least a couple of times before she went. Sister would have none of it.
Time comes, she starts shrieking at me about how I don't "need" the money, she does, etc., so my wife and I just 360'd and walked away. She knew I would, so she pulled the trigger. It wasn't even that much money, pretty much low six figures for half of the estate. I hope it makes her happy in this life. I'm done with her forever.

I can only say that 40k € was enough to cause total division inside my family. My dad and his brother have not talked to each other in decades, they are all bitter as hell

Damn user we are the same save for the dad dying part. Shits rough but I've always disliked my family desu.
