Both of DH's parents have passed, He inherited about $30K. More than he ever thought he would get. This was a welcome and greatly appreciated surprise - it helped us fund our DS special ed private school education.

I stand to inherit about $1.5M, combination of investments and real estate. My two siblings I am assuming will get equal to what I am standing to inherit. And if for some reason my parents changed their will to reflect one of us getting less than the others, we have all agreed to make it even for all 3 of us in the end.

I plan to pass a lot (not all) of this inheritance on to our children.


We inherited different amounts from my parents. Guess which kids were the ones who kept in contact with my parents over the years? Those that didn’t inherit, hasn’t had contact with them for a very long time.


Sounds like you come from a very dysfunctional family. I bet the ones that cut off contact could care less if they received an inheritance...and those who got an inheritance sold themselves out to get it.


These are often the greediest and grabbiest folks.

I wonder what selling yourself out means? Does it mean that you made less money in hopes of getting an inheritance (and hung around to be a good child) while the others made enough money to not care about an inheritance? I'm not sure I understand.

That statement means that those individuals endured/enabled dysfunctional and abusive behavior because they wanted the inheritance money. Only a dysfunctional person thinks this would mean being a”good kid.” Typically the functional ones cut their loses and live a clean life away from the dysfunction.

Boy you see the world one sided. We’ve seen kids estranged from parents bc they are addicts, married someone who isolated them, they are mentally ill, etc. i have a sibling who was estranged from my wonderful parents. Her loss...

You have no idea how I see the world. This is one perspective that I explained. Sorry about the baggage from your sister.

You didn’t offer one of many perspectives. You offered what you thought it means if inheritances are uneven and one kid helps care for ailing parents. THAT’S what’s so one sided.
