[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What you call "schmoozing", unmarried aunts might call "company." Being elderly is lonely.  Yes, it's nice that you've visited for all these years 1-2x a year, but if SIL calls once or twice a week every week and chats away with them....well, I'd leave her money, too.  That's legitimately kind and thoughtful.

Is there a chance that they legitimately feel closer to her than to you or your brother?[/quote]

I would hope that if I decided to do something stupid by arbitrarily disinheriting some family members, a close friend or family member would discuss the matter with me and make sure I'm aware of the consequences. If I have good reasons, that's fine and can be elucidated in such a conversation. Sometimes we all need a gentle reminder to reconsider our actions.[/quote]

Arbitrarily? Disinherit?

How do you know how much time these grown women put into making these decisions?

Why are you calling them stupid? Because they are older? Because they are women?

Why do you assume the OP or anyone was disinherited? They have no right to someone else’s money. They may not have been in these wills in the first place.
