[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP I don't feel entitled to their money but I don't think its right that I don't get my inheritance specifically because my brother can't be trusted. It would be one thing if there plan was to leave it to charity because that is important to them but thats not the case.[/quote]

The fact that you keep referring to it as *your* inheritance means you *do* feel entitled to their money.  It's not YOUR inheritance.  It is THEIR money.  When they die, if they decide to leave it to you, THEN it becomes your inheritance.

Maybe they will still leave it to you or part of it, but they don't want you to expect it or rely on it.  Possibly, they think that your brother makes bad choices because he anticipates being saved by their inheritance.  And maybe they don't want any of their kids to assume they have a windfall coming and make choices accordingly.

But whatever their reason for doing what they're doing, if you act petulant about it, they'll be even more inclined not to leave you anything.[/quote]
