[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here.

I wasn't a minor when the will was written 5 yrs ago. Depending on the month it was drafted, I was either 19 or 20.

I think that plainly, my godmother left me the house as she has been attempting to kick her DD out for several decades. I don't feel entitled to the house just as I don't feel entitled to get my parent's house when they die. However, this house has been given to me an the reality is that I want to live there. My cousin has been cordial yet passive aggressive over the years and especially about her mother giving me gifts. About 3 yrs ago, my godmother invited me on a vacation, I was so excited and grateful so  of course I accepted... not knowing that they had just had a fight and I would be taking my cousin's place on the vacation.

My grandmother and my dad both say that my godmother was tired of supporting her "ungrateful daughter" and that she should have kicked her out years ago. [/quote]

This story just doesn't make sense. Why would a mother choose a niece over her own children? Is there any chance at all that Thelma was not completely of sound mind or was pressured in any way?

Mary and Roy should at least talk to a lawyer about the possibility that the will is defective.

It sounds as though Thelma was tired of taking care of Mary, who, if you actually read the posts, has 2 degrees and has been perfectly capable of working, but has chosen not to because she didn't "like" the "working world", or moved away to get married and it fell through. Fact of the matter is, Mary seems like a woman who has always been able to live off her mom, always had her mom as a fall back plan, and because of it, never accomplished anything in her life. Thelma was tired of taking care of her. NO SURPRISE THERE. I mean, we are talking about a 50 year old woman who starts a bunch of stuff and never finishes it... I would have put her out a long time ago. So the very fact that Thelma put her up for this long is angelic in my mind. My parents kicked me out of the house when I was 17 (deservedly so)... And since then, I have earned several degrees, have a very successful career, and a good life. Had my parents just let me sit on my ass all day and live at home, maybe none of that happens.[/quote]
