[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your brothers are correct and here is why:

They are allowing the relative(s) to retain their assets so they have some money BUT are giving an interest free loan which may or may not be paid back. They are not saying the relative or his estate MUST repay the loan. They are saying this:

Relatives are older. At some point, we are each entitled to a third when relatives die. If I'm helping relatives so they can keep their cash now, I would like to be repaid for that when they pass. Makes perfect sense to me. What doesn't make sense is for your brothers to help the relatives out, keep quiet about it being a loan which will be repaid by the estate if the funds exist, and then when the person passes try to falsely claim they always intended to be repaid. [b]They are upfront with how and why they want to give the money, and it helps your relatives[/b]. How is this greedy? The only way is if you feel like they should help out with no expectation of repayment even though you will end up getting money when the person passes. Wouldn't you want your relative to have the access to the loaned money now and for the relative to never have to repay it during their livetime? And if the inheritance is so small, what are YOU complaining about? You're in the wrong.[/quote]

No, they have been pretty clear that their goal is to be repaid out of the estate. [/quote]

I know. And that’s why I said. The brothers being upfront makes them in the right. Had they kept quiet about wanting to get repaid, is where issue could arise. Kudos to them for being clear and helping out while the people are still alive. Be thankful your family isn’t coming to you to front the money. [/quote]

well they do seem to expect me to front the money. true quote when I was working in a nonprofit: “you could be earning more, therefore you need to pay as much to support Grandma as if you were working on Wall Street.”[/quote]
