[quote=Anonymous]Curious your thoughts on my sister’s decision.

We’ve always had a good relationship with our grandmother who is still alive. She was one of the very first to hold our babies, is always included in everything special. We make sure to bring our kids around often, have them make cards, visit for holidays, dinners, etc. Very involved. When the youngest of our kids was about 2, she sat us down one day and told us her plans for her estate, and how she planned to divide her money amongst us girls and our kids. Mind you, she’s a sharp woman, very cognitively sound then and now. Fast forward to after Christmas, she got us both on the phone (COVID) and broke it to us that she wasn’t leaving anything to anyone anymore, because she just didn’t want to anymore; let us figure it out in probate, basically.

I was a little upset for my kids, not myself, that even though they didn’t know they’d even be receiving anything, they wouldn’t be getting anything, and for what? But my sister has all but cut off all ties. I asked her if she spoke to grandma yesterday and she said no, she doesn’t try anymore, she has hurt feelings over the estate and doesn’t have the heart to be around grandma anymore. It got me thinking, not sure if it’s just a product of COVID or subconsciously my own hurt, but I’ve backed off a bit this last year. It got me thinking that maybe it was kind of a blow to our relationship?

Do you think you’d pull back in this situation? [/quote]
