To continue what I was saying about my aunt and mom having a falling out. How many people have a falling out when parents or grandparents die? They fight over money. Even cousins get upset with each other. This girl at my work, her mom just died. The cousin convinced the old dying woman to give her jewelry. My co worker told her cousin she wants the jewelry back. Then the cousin asks if he/she can buy the car. But they have to make payments and she knows they aren't a good person to loan to.
I think the only reason my mom talked to my aunt was because their mother was still alive. After gramma died, my mom didn't want anything to do with my aunt. They acted very badly to us throughout the years. The disrespect and jealousy they showed at my brothers wedding, the way they acted greedy when my gramma died.
I know my brother and I won't fight over my dad's stuff when he's gone because my dad got a lawyer and told the lawyer who gets what. So no arguing will happen.
If my dad didn't make a will and god forbid my brother died before him, I would get everything. My sister in law and my nephews would get nothing. And I wouldn't feel bad because they are rich and I'm not. Plus whatever I have left when I die, my nephews will get. But I'm SURE that would have caused hard feelings so we explained to my dad this would happen if he didn't make a will so he did. Now if my brother dies before my dad, his wife and kids get half because my dad put it in writing.
