[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe older brother thought it was unfair unequal treatment that middle brother was the sole beneficiary. Isn't that what many are saying in the other inheritance thread? It doesn't bode well for sibling relationships that things be split so unequally. So maybe he did feel entitled to some of the money. Did he ever agree with how things were split?[/quote]

There was agreement because Brother 2 spent so many years acting as our mom’s primary caregiver. And at the end of the day, $50K just wasn’t a lot of money. But it would have helped Brother 2 get on his feet. Brother 1 was the one who got upset when I tried to control the funds, which, in hindsight makes so much sense. Brother 1 was adamant about it being Brother 2’s money and that I shouldn’t play any part in managing it. Of course he had his own plan to take the money, which is why he didn’t need his pesky sister in the way. [/quote]

This is why parents shouldn't treat siblings so unequally.[/quote]

New poster. NONSENSE, PP. The mother intended the money to go to the one of her three children who had cared for her for years. It was not a huge amount. The older brother and our OP, the sister, were and are both financially fine and did not need this money. The mother expected she was rewarding the son who devoted so much time to her care, and OP as the sister and daughter was fine with that. The older brother is scum.

No one has to "treat siblings equally" in a will. This case is crystal clear about why the mother left the money only to the one son and not the other two siblings. Do you really think that somehow the older brother is right on any level for duping his brother out of even a penny of this inheritance? Because, what, the older brother felt he...should have been treated "equally"? Bull. Total bull.[/quote]
