My grandmother set up will to give to oldest son. She had five kids. Never updated will.

Well he was a life time bachelor and got married at 72. Dropped dead 74 and his wife of two years got farm. She has two deadbeat sons who wanted to sell it to a developer who wants to build townhomes. It is 110 acres

My “aunt” after getting an earful decided not to sell in her lifetime, but giving to her sons after her death. Say they are selling.

I will never understand why she did not make the will 22 acres each for her five kids. No one has lived on property in 50 years. Just abandoned. Soon to be townhomes or condos

Such is life


Sorry, that is really unfortunate. People don’t often think through estate planning well. Particularly not a 72 yr old bachelor.


I am willing to bet the woman was half his age.

Not half but in her mid 60s. Was divorced with two grown kids. My uncle lived with his mom till her death when she was 90. She also got that house. She got a Dublin home and the farm in a short marriage and his pension as a surviving widow. But n reality her two sons we never met get it all.

I know someone here who had something similar happen. Sad.

Her name can be added to it even though she has not paid 1 single red cent into the home?


You might not value what she brings to the marriage, but your relative did and it is your relatives property now so it is their choice, not yours.

Sounds like the lane is finally being put to good use. People need housing.

Sounds like this was more the fault of the oldest son than the grandmother. Although in the end I think creating a lot of housing isn't necessarily a bad outcome. Too bad your family won't get some of the money from the sale though.

Funny how people find things to be upset about. Somebody did something with what was their own and you do not approve.
Obviously the family doesn’t live in Ireland and are not farmers
Let bygones be bygones, your uncle and aunt had a good life
Time for you to move on

I’ll never get why adult children resent the young wife’s inheritance.

Usually, she was there and they were not for the last phase of the person’s life. Dad wanted a companion/nurse who would also f$& him, and he paid for it with his wealth. It’s a valid choice! And I don’t really care if it’s sex work adjacent or not, it’s work and as long as everyone was of sound mind when they signed the contract, it’s none of your business. No one is entitled to an inheritance.

Couldn’t you just give it some thought first? Or use google?

1 cent coins minted between 1859-1909 had an Indian Head engraving on one side. Derp.

Lol but that’s not where “red cent” came from. I know it’s hip in the social Justice cult to invent things that are racist to lord over people.

Pennies are made out of copper, copper is red. Get it?

It’s nothing to do with you, OP. Neither the property going to him, or how his estate is set up. Get a life. Get your own “family property.” She is his family, obviously, so he can chose to leave anything that is legally his to her. And there’s nothing you can do about it.
