[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why does everyone here feel so bad for Mary. She needs to grow up and live her life. If Mary were a 50 yr old man living with his mom, you would all be saying to kick him out. From what has been posted, it seems like Mary is perfectly capable of being a functional adult but just chooses not to. [/quote]

I don't feel bad for Mary so much. It is just that this is just such an unusual scenario. When the facts are so different from the usual, I think it is a good idea to get legal advice, just to be safe. That is what I'd suggest to Mary and Roy.

OP still hasn't really explained how it happened that Thelma made the decision to leave her family home to Larla, a niece/goddaughter, over the children she gave birth to. Her family home which, btw, is worth four times the amount she left for her own children. [/b]

This is not at all a typical inheritance situation. i wonder if there are any other nieces and nephews and if they inherited anything.  It wouldn't occur to me to leave anything at all to my nieces and nephews with living parents, unless maybe one moved in with me in my old age and was my caretaker.

Larla has not mentioned doing any care taking for her aunt, so I'm interested to know why Thelma left more to her niece than to both her children combined. OP, could you give any more information about your aunt's reasons for leaving you such a large inheritance?

How on earth is OP supposed to know that?  Do you think Thelma spelled it out in the will?[/quote]

If Thelma didn't spell it out in the will, that may be grounds for Thelma's children, Mary and Roy, to challenge the will. Maybe they can allege undue influence of some sort because Thelma didn't explain in the will why she was distributing her assets in such an unusual way.

Who is serving as the executor of the will? Is it Mary and/or Roy, or someone else? If someone else, is it a relative of Thelma?
