[quote=Anonymous]I am in a similar situation. My grandmother died last year and we were all pretty surprised that her will left everything to the children. Nothing for any of the grandchildren. While I understand that it was her decision to do whatever she wanted with her worldly possessions, I was not the only one who was surprised. My father and aunt were actually the most surprised, and discussed at pretty great length right after her death how to address what they felt was an imbalance. It was decided at that point that one group of assets (the easy stuff) would go to the children (aka my dad and his sister) and when the other assets had been sold, the money from those sales would be divided equally between the grandchildren.

They are almost done selling the various assets and no one has mentioned this idea again. I certainly don't feel entitled to it, nor did I make any plans with this money in mind (since I honestly have no idea how much money we're talking about), but I'm a single mom of a school age child and that money would be really helpful for any number of things. I have no idea how to talk to my father or my aunt about this, though. My family has weird communication issues and I kind of would rather just be disappointed and sad about it and not deal with the awkward and probably stressful experience of basically asking my dad for money, at age 32.[/quote]
