[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My grandmother left her house to her youngest three children because she felt the oldest three "didn't need anything." It ruined relationships NOT because the older three needed 1/6 of a house but because they felt as if grandma loved those children more than them. It especially hurt my parent who had spent a good decade caring for my grandmother on a daily basis and making sure she was able to stay in said house until she passed away.

TL;DR [b]Don't do this to your kids[/b] [/quote]

I would like to think that the older generation knows better than to leave their legacy as a rift between the people that outlive them. Why anyone would do this is beyond me.  Either divide it equally, or sell it while you are alive and split the proceeds equally - but your kids are not here to settle some score for you, parents. The sibling should not be held accountable for her sibling's bad choices.

I could see MIL doing this, because SIL has been given everything, and still can't get out of her own way - as if that is everyone's else's fault and responsibility.  I don't think so. [/quote]
