[quote=Anonymous]Larla, I see all your points.  I wonder if Mary would really be able to support herself, though, if she is forced out of the house with the 100k.   Maybe she has mental issues, or maybe she is just lazy, but what will she really do exactly?   Really, she will likely run out of money after several years and get evicted.   That is a lot to have on your conscience, even if she deserves it -- especially since Thelma was her mother.

I kind of like the idea a couple of people had:   sell the house (are you prepared for all the upkeep, taxes, etc. anyway), and give Mary some of the money -- hopefully enough that with her 100k she could buy herself at least a 1 BR condo.   Maybe give Roy some too.

Keep enough money so that you can go live in the dorm or an apartment near campus, and keep whatever is left after you give enough to Mary so that she can buy a place, and some to Roy as a peace offering.   Maybe, depending on where all this is, that would be enough for you even to buy a condo as well.   So maybe give her 150k, you keep 200k, and Roy gets 50k.   Or maybe split it three ways, if that gives Mary enough for a condo.   How well off is Roy really?   What about his ability to help his own kids with college?

I think your godmother put you in a very awkward position, and is making you make a lot of hard decisions for someone, however bright, in your early 20s.   These would be hard decisions at any age.
