[quote=Anonymous]My mom died 20 years ago and my dad just recently passed away.  He was a hard working man who accumulated a modest wealth through years of blood, sweat, and tears.  He lived in a 1200 sq ft house (where he raised 4 kids), drove a 14 years old volvo and really instilled the value of a dollar in all of us.  I am the only girl and have 3 older brothers.  We were assuming the estate would be split 4 ways but its actually split in a completely different manner.  One half of his estate goes to a very specific organization that had a very important role in my parents lives (about 900k) and the rest is divided 6 ways evenly to each grandchild (about 150k each grandchild) for college/job training/graduate school. Even though his will specifically says its for the grandkids 2 of my siblings took that money and spent it.  One used it as a house downpayment and one used it to fund a new business get up.  They both claim they will just replace the money when its time for kids to go to college.  I am hurt and upset and feel like they are ignoring dads plan.  DH is admit I keep quite and never bring it up and I know he is right but I can't get it off my mind!  One of my siblings is especially bitter he didn't get a bigger share of the pie (only has one child) and wonders if the organization pressured him to give them money which is definitely NOT the case and I worry about him running his mouth and tainting the reputation of this organization.  Has anyone experienced a completely different side of their siblings after the last parent dies?  Im just really hurt and confused because I would of never guessed this behavior from them! Vent over, any advice greatly appreciated!

PS: I should state we are all done having children and have been for years and my Dad knew this so its not like possible future unborn grandchildren were left nothing. [/quote]
