[quote=Anonymous][quote]For the last time Thelma has a sibling, my grandmother who is also the executor of the will. I do not know why she wrote the will the way she did 
...most likely it was because she wanted to give me her house. she does not have any other godchildren she has several nieces and nephews one being my father and all of them are Stabley S-t in life so as my grandmother said she gave it to me because I would be the person who needed it most.[/quote]

So you are a great-niece to Thelma and your father is her nephew. And Thelma decided to give a great-niece a $400,000 house and give her own children, who are her closest blood relatives, just $100,000 each.

Could you and Mary and Roy go to a lawyer together and talk about the circumstances of the will and whether or not there are grounds for contesting the will? That way, you could make sure that everyone's rights are protected and that everyone is being treated fairly.

It is certainly nice to inherit $400,000 when you are only 25 years old, but if there is any chance at all that there is something off about the will, the money will not bring you happiness. And if it means putting your cousin out of her family home it could cause bad feelings in your extended family for some time to come. Treat your cousin the way you would wish to be treated if the tables were turned. She is your family after all.
