When my aunt died last year she specifically excluded my cousin. Her intent was to "reward" those

Posted by TWuG Dec 16 '09, 08:34

who remembered her and visited with her in her old age.

Something this cousin never did. His parents were not amused. Add to it that he was adopted (as a baby).

Responses:

I received nothing when my grandmother passed. My cousin got stuff (money and items) but also had a close relationship with her - which I did not - decline Dec 16, 08:42 2
- My grandma gave her stuff to her two kids. I didn't expect to inheret anything, nor should i have. -- nm - TWuG Dec 16, 08:44 1
  - i didn't inherit anything when my father died. it all went to my mom. - Andie Cane Dec 16, 08:46
I know my grandmother uses money (and the threat of money) like a bludgeon. it's her favourite pastime. -- nm - mafic Dec 16, 08:38 1
- My inlaws, bot deceased now, made that an Olympic sport. Bill's been dead 7 years now and he's still dictating to his kids. -- nm - TWuG Dec 16, 08:40
Nice. -- nm - Let it Spawn, let it Spawn, let it Spawn! Dec 16, 08:37
Her money, her decision (though personally I don't think that's the way to go) -- nm - Roger More Dec 16, 08:36 3
- Well, considering she never properly got the will processed, no, it's not her decision anymore. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Dec 16, 08:38 1
  - (I was talking about TWuG's aunt) -- nm - Roger More Dec 16, 08:39
- agreed and agreed -- nm - adventy97 Dec 16, 08:36
Lesson to be learned: visit aging relatives more often if you want their loot. (nm) - musubi Dec 16, 08:36 1
- Sure, though I didn't even know I was in the will until her executor told me after she died. - TWuG Dec 16, 08:38
did she tell your family that before or just as part of the will? -- nm - Beaker Dec 16, 08:35 1
- It was in the will with that reasoning. -- nm - TWuG Dec 16, 08:36
that's what i'm saying, people do their own thing with their money. -- nm - Andie Cane Dec 16, 08:34 9
- For sure. It's just we're presented with the situation under the premise that there's decent relations. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Dec 16, 08:37 8

    - the fact he brings this up at all tells me something about his character I am sad to say -- nm - Beaker Dec 16, 08:39 6
      - Well, I don't think that's a fair comment either. You know what? It might be right and he's actually following through on his mother's wishes. - Name Withheld By Request Dec 16, 08:41 5
        
        I get that, just doesn't make sense to me that she would only tell him and no one else though. -- nm - Beaker Dec 16, 08:52
        
        this is where i'm at. making the uncle a villain, automatically, feels wrong to me. -- nm - Andie Cane Dec 16, 08:47
        
        Awfully convenient though. -- nm - Roger More Dec 16, 08:43
        
        but even if it was her request, is it the "right" thing to do? -- nm - merry xmas and happy znu year Dec 16, 08:42 1
        
        If it honestly was her wishes, then I would argue, yes, it is. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Dec 16, 08:44
