[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]What they did is felony theft.  It's criminal. [/b]

OP, if the estate is still open, I would talk to the probate judge about it. He can order the parents to place the money due the children into secure accounts.

If the money is gone, I would pull your nieces and nephews aside when they reach their 17th or 18th birthday, advise them that their parents stole their inheritance, and advise them to see an attorney. The parents can pay for college or pay the kids back. The statute of limitations for suing the parents for the return of the money will start running when the kids turn 18, though. They will only have a short time after their 18th birthday to decide what to do. [/quote]

+1000 on all of the above, but wanted to highlight the criminal aspect.

Your brothers are HORRIBLE people. This, to me, is unforgivable. Truly, the type of action that would make me turn my back on them forever. [/quote]

You both are nuts.

Op stated the will left the money to the grandkids. If the grandkids are minor children, the money goes to their parent/legal guardian unless the will had specified some other method - held in trust, etc .

Presumably the child whose parents purchased the house will live in the house and perhaps a nicer house than they would have if they had not received the inheritance and reap the benefit of possibly their parents have more disposable income to spend on the child since they have reduced their housing costs.    The child whose family started a business will be provided for by the income that business generates.

OP being upset by how her siblings choose to spend this inheritance is as silly as her brother being upset how this dad choose to donate his own money.
