[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I took my very elderly parent to a lawyer to have their will written and made sure I was the executor. When they died about a year or so later, I made my siblings think they were all getting their fair share of our parent’s estate, which they somewhat are, but in reality, I’m getting more than my siblings.

I’ve been surprised at how easy it has been to hide various small amounts of money that add up to me getting thousands more than my siblings. One sibling has been sniffing around a bit and asking questions, but I think she’s too dumb to figure it out. Bonus points for getting to stick it to my one really annoying sibling.

Is this just greed on your part or do you feel you deserve more, for example, for taking care of them?[/quote]

My sibling who is very annoying married a man who allows her to stay home and “take care” of their kids. She does absolutely nothing in terms of work, even though my parents spent tons of money sending her to a private college and grad school. I’m divorced with kids, work hard, and have been fired twice in the last few years. I need the money way more than she does. She’s getting plenty and there’s no need for her to know that there’s more that I’m keeping for myself.

That was your parents’ call not yours.

You are a thief.[/quote]

+100 you are an envious thief. I hope the money you stole was worth the karma that's coming for you.[/quote]

In the big scheme of things, it’s not really that much money. I’ve taken a very small amount extra in proportion to the division of assets we’re all getting. And no one will ever know because, like I said, it’s just small extra amounts here and there that won’t show up in any of the paperwork, which no one is really going to check anyway.

My sibling is a very difficult person who did nothing at all to help with our parents. She’s already getting a huge amount money from the estate, so these small extra amounts won’t make any difference at all.

Just here to say I get it, and I would do the same.
I have a well off brother who never offers to pitch in when I go visit our parent. I won’t have any qualms taking some extra money from him when the time comes. [/quote]

Right, if someone is already well off, why do they need more when their siblings could make better use of the money?

A poor person could make the same argument at a store when justifying stealing. Would you go easy on them using the same rationale? Theft is theft. [/quote]
