[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]i was disinherited by my mother - as were my siblings. We never counted on her for anything so lost zero sleep over her will. We had a modest reconnection with her shortly before she died. She ended up leaving us all a little money - like $50k each. The rest went to well-respected charities. None of us worried about it. If you really lose a connection with someone - you don't really care what they do with their money. I think its harder when there is a stronger connection or a feeling that you have been cheated by a step parent.

You were no disinherited. And $50k is not “a little” money. [/quote]

[b]I took that to mean PP and siblings [i]had been[/i] disinherited and then put back in the will after a reconnection with the mother.[/b] And yes, $50K is not a tiny amount of money, but we don't know the size of the estate. The mother was of course entitled to do whatever she wanted with her money.[/quote]

That's how I interpreted it too.  [/quote]

Yes. I guess what I was trying to say is: When we were disinherited - we didn't care. We didn't expect anything from her. The disinheriting was assumed b/c she was such a spiteful person. Another way to put it - if she had tried to use money as leverage with us - it would have never worked because she was so toxic.

I think it's much harder from an emotional standpoint when you have a stepmother or stepfather who intercepts money or property - such as a family home. It's even more destructive if they take money that was in your family - from say grandparents - and give it to your step sibs who were never part of the biological family. [/quote]
