AITA for suggesting my sister get a smaller portion of inheritance or none at all? quote:I'm a 35 year old woman. I got a younger brother (23 James) and an older sister (38 Jesse). Our father passed away due to an accident when we were small and our mom raised us alone. We didn't struggle or anything. My father left a good sized estate + the insurance money. Recently our mother had a health scare with cancer. It turned out to be benign but she still wanted to make sure her affairs are in order. About a week ago, she sat us all down to tell us how she had divided her estate, our father's estate and all inheritance.

Love that the proposed alternative is that the sister gets nothing so long as she doesn't have any kids and is making the big bucks from her little jewelry store. Tells you everything you need to know about OP.

I've heard of people who had extremely ironclad wills set up and don't tell their family, and people who have that plus safety deposit boxes or safes that a specific person is the only one trusted to get into if their fall comatose or die. It's one of those things that brings out the absolute loving worst in people, to the point of relatives showing up to clear out a house before the heirs even aware their parents have died. My family doesn't have a rare jewelry collection or anything, but once you hit late age high value, small assets like that need to be stored offsite or in secure access conditions so the estate is the owner while the will goes through probate. Some rear end in a top hat cousins showing up to take the TV isn't that big of a deal relative to the long term estate issue. pentyne fucked around with this message at 10:07 on May 22, 2021 |

Going to be plenty of relationship thread drama as the boomers die, intergenerational welath transfer is going to be the last chance for a lot of people to get into property or have retirement savings etc.

Unless explicitly discussed and agreed by all parties the only fair way to divide an estate (barring extraordinary circumstances, but even those should be discussed), is equally among all children (and if grandchildren are involved, equal amounts to each of them, although not necessarily as much as the children get).

Only if the spouse predeceases and no will has been left specifying another split. Rarely happens, though, because a lot of people have their estate's value tied up in property that has sentimental value (like the family house or heriloom jewelry) and would have to be liquidated to split evenly.

My favorite part is when the greedy motherfuckers refuse to comprehend the fact that part of the estate went to end of life care and another part will be going towards the funeral.

Bolding is OP's Is this a healthy relationship? How do I go about nicely telling my wife I'm not happy with her being so controlling? quote:We've been married for over 20 years. These are the "red flags" I've started noticing in the last few years. I'll try my best to summarize in a concise manner, but it's really scattered when it comes to the concerning things I've noticed.

If you ignore doctors advice and continue to do the same things they explicity told you to stop doing because its causing your pain you get no sympathy. That post reads like someone bitching their wife is treating them like a child while they act exactly like a child. Meanwhile the wife mentally snapped while watching her husband intentionally hurt himself and went too far into "overprotecrive mom" territory.

All the more reason to be estranged from your whole family! I'm free from needing to deal with any of that as I assume my stepmother has arranged for everything to go to my racist, brainworm illiterate stepbrother.

I can't blame her too much. He whines about it being a problem that their friends take the wife's side whenever they hear about what he does because it makes him look like a jerk. This strongly implies that he knows he's being an rear end in a top hat and just doesn't want to deal with any consequences thereof.

I don’t have a problem with the way she’s treating him since he’s pretty much brought it on himself by deliberately ignoring medical instructions. The way he describes her behavior towards the kids and dog is not great though. Freaking out over the kids making mistakes on their homework isn’t cool, and wanting to lie to everyone about how difficult it is having two dogs is just weird. Also, possibly lying to him about the dog misbehaving. Their relationship seems like one half obliviousness and not giving a poo poo, and one half overbearing and high-strung.

I'm sure at least partly, which wouldn't be too bad if they weren't also inflicting their dysfunctional relationship and behaviors on their kids. But I guess it's people like them that ensure this thread will go on forever.

I'd always joke that we could never have it at the Berlin office, 'cuz we'd all go out drinking and next thing you know we'd wake up in Poland again... They were surprisingly good sports about it.
