My grandfather (dad's dad) died when I was 19. My grandmother (dad's mother) died when I was 21. Their will stipulated that everything they had be split between my brother, my father and I.
With my dad having power of attorney over their money, we never actually saw the real amount of money willed to us, but they weren't very wealthy, just good at saving. Still, my Dad's massaged number showed that each of us should get $25,000 each. In the end, I got a $1500 computer. My brother got $10,000 on a car payment.
My father must have spent the rest on whatever. I don't think my brother or I were on the best terms with Dad before, but that created a huge rift. We still invite him over Thanksgiving and Christmas, but he hardly ever shows.
