[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s normal to feel that way. Maybe she was proud of you and knew you didn’t need it. Curious what the rest of her will says- does the rest go to Charity? [/quote]
No. $75k went to one cousin, the rest split equally between her six children. There are about 15 cousins, and we were each willed a “thing”, if we wanted it (someone got a gun, for example) other than the one cousin who got a the money. None of my cousins were close with grandma, many didn’t even speak to her. The cousin who got money was close, but not as close as me. [/quote]

So that cousin’s parents was one of the six children that got an equal amount? Plus that cousin got the 75,000.?

Is there a complicated situation with those parents?[/quote]
Nothing more complicated than my upbringing, if that’s what you mean. Complicated divorce, her dad ended up dying when she was young. My dad also died when I was young. We both grew up with equal familial support. In all honesty, I never really made the comparison until right now. We lived almost lived the same life. [/quote]

wait - I thought both your dads died when young and I thought they were the kids of your grandma. now I am realizing I don't know that. were either of your dads your grandma's kids? or were your moms the kids of your grandma and were they still alive?

I hope you realize that if your cousin was the descendant of one of your grandma's kids and that kid was dead before grandma, it makes sense for the portion to go to the kid's kid.

can you clarify this point for us?[/quote]
