[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Same PP as above. Forgot to mention that my father split his estate 4 ways equally among my 2 siblings and I and our STEPSISTER (the daughter of my stepmother--no blood relation). [/quote]

But that was up to him. Do you have an issue with that? Because it sounds like that’s what you want your stepfather to do so why do you have an issue with your father doing that?

Are you planning on giving your half siblings the money you inherit from your father? I’m guessing no. So to me, it makes sense that your stepfather and mother are equalizing things. Your half siblings aren’t going to receive an inheritance from another father or mother. You seem to want to inherit equally as your half siblings do while also keeping the inheritance you get from your father that you’re half siblings don’t get. And then you also seem to have an issue with your step sibling on your father side sharing in the estate.

Certainly no issue with my stepsister getting equal inheritance. She clearly feels a little awkward about it, but there is zero beef on our end. My dad called me many years ago to tell me she would get equal treatment and I said "it's your money, you made it, and that is lovely of you to include her." She did receive an inheritance from her biological father when he died, as well. It was more about the principle to include her--that he considered her his child (even if she had a "real dad" who also was in her life and would leave her money).

I don't think it should be equal. I think it should not be 97/3. Oh, and that I should not have been asked to manage the estate and their health decisions before seeing the documents--I find that part very odd. We all grew up in the same house and I am very close with the half siblings.

How much have you or will you inherit from your father?[/quote]
