A man will be given an inheritance after his grandfather’s death, but now his stepbrother is after a share of the money, despite never having a genuine relationship with the soon-to-be deceased. The brother has continuously called the hospice to get his name put on the wall, but it hasn’t worked.
They Had No Contact
The man said, “I have a biological brother P who is 30, and a stepbrother K who is 25, and a half-sister, who is 17. My mom died, and my Dad remarried when my brother K was 5. There was a lot of animosity between my mom’s family and my dad, they had no contact (except to arrange weekly visits).” This blended family arrangement could be difficult at times, but the man had learned to deal with it.
He Had His Own Grandparents
The stepbrother had his own grandparents, so the man hadn’t felt bad about keeping the inheritance money. It wasn’t like the stepbrother had a relationship with the grandfather; they only met once in a while at family events and exchanged the occasional small birthday gift. He really didn’t deserve any of the inheritance money, and the man fully believed that.
They Had To Sell His House To Pay For His Care
Since the grandfather was given his terminal diagnosis, the man had helped him sell his house to pay for his palliative care at the hospice. This was a very difficult task for the man as it reminded him that his grandfather was going to die very soon. The man was happy he was able to support and help his grandfather, though.
The Will Only Include 2 Out Of The 4 Siblings
Facing his death, it was revealed that the grandfather only left money to his biological grandchildren. The man wasn’t shocked by this revelation, but he did wonder how it would divide the siblings. It was also slightly annoyed as it was he who was going to have to deal with the fallout of it all. He did, however, respect his grandfather’s wishes and wouldn’t interfere.
But His Step Brother Wanted The Money
It wasn’t long before the man’s stepbrother asked for the money. He had continuously called the hospice requesting to speak with the grandfather. He called so much that the hospice was worried he was a scammer.
He Wanted The Dying Man To Remember Him In His Will
The man said, “My grandfather is heavily deaf, and all his relatives know this. It turns out it was K he then admitted he wanted to keep in touch so he’d ‘Remember him in his will.’ I told him it was his choice who he left the money to, and it wasn’t likely. He blew up on me, calling me selfish and controlling and saying I favored our brother.
He Needed The Money
The man received a call from his stepmother telling him to re-evaluate his priorities. She claimed that she and his stepbrother could use the money. This didn’t feel relevant to the man as it wasn’t his problem or responsibility to support his stepmother. It also wasn’t his money it was his grandfather’s, and he was just accepting his last will.
She Wanted Him To Pressure His Grandfather
In recent weeks the stepmother had asked the man to pressure his grandfather into changing the will. If he failed, she wondered if he could split his share of the inheritance three ways between himself, his stepbrother, and his half-sister.
His Stepbrother Had An Attitude Problem
The stepbrother had a long history of getting fired due to his terrible working attitude. It didn’t help that the stepmother refused to work full-time and didn’t want to ask her boyfriend to contribute to the rent. The half-sister didn’t want the money; she had no interest. The man was sick of all the money talk and wished it would all just stop. He was losing a wonderful family member, and that’s all that mattered.
The Man Had Cared For His Grandfather For 20 Years
After working full-time and caring for his grandfather for 20 years, housekeeping and attending to his personal care needs, the man didn’t want to share the inheritance money. He might have considered it if his stepbrother had had a better relationship with the grandfather, but this wasn’t the case. The stepbrother had already blown through his own grandparent’s inheritance years before, and the man couldn’t trust he wouldn’t do the same thing. He took to the internet for advice.
The Internet Responded
One person said, “I’m not even sure any claim they could make would have any legal standing. Regardless, they should respect your grandfather’s decision. If he wanted to leave it all to a neighbor’s chihuahua, that is his right and none of their business.”
Lots Of People Had Their Own Opinions
Another commented, “I think you should re-evaluate why you answer their calls. I’d also look at tightening security around your grandfather.”
