Have you ever been left anything in a Will?

newmills

You always see it on tele - someone in the solicitors office and he's reading out the will and some spawny git gets a fortune.

Have any of you got anything good or bad in a will?

Basq

No..


.. I was however left something in a Carlton..






.. no-one?

Dinter

No. Apparently over here you can't "benefit from a crime".

What a waste of time that was.

A family member of mine died and had left a will, but its not like on TV, everything was left to his wife and immediate family, so there was no "reading".

A third of half a house....can't wait for that **** to hit the fan.

Ooooh. Sneaky.

My Mother was left a card table in a will. It was tiny though not much good for inviting the lads around for a game of poker.

Oh the woman who left it to her BTW, her husband was involved in a plot to kill Hitler. Strange but true!

Great idea for a thread, im dreading the reading of my dads will, cos he has 11 kids. But i just know my step sister will get the house- and i know she will sell it. Makes me so mad my parents bought that in 1963 and did it up and its where we grew up and wouldnt want strangers living in it

gggggggggggrrrrrrrrrrrrr

No my mother actually named me after my rich aunt hoping she would leave me something in her will- and she didnt:D - its pretty much a running joke in the family ha

There is only a small number of people who would be leaving me anything in a will. Thankfully none of their wills have had to be called into action.

This_Years_Love

My grandmother died when I was 12 and I was left all her jewelry. One item was a ring from the 1850's that had been passed down to oldest child in each generation. After my grandmother died my uncle came over from England looking for that ring. My other uncle told him my grandmother had lost the ring before she died. The uncle from England was adopted by my grandparents when he was three (a year before my mam was born). When he was 20, he went looking for his birth parents in England, started living with them and barely talked to my grandparents, aunts and uncles anymore, wouldn't even come home for special birthdays and anniversaries. My grandparents didn't treat him differently from their other kids... they loved him and because he was the oldest boy he got all brand new clothes & toys (my other uncles got his hand downs) and my granddad helped him get his first job which was a really great paying job at the time. My family have no idea why he treated my grandparents so badly. He basically cut himself out of the family so no one wanted him to get that ring.

Super-Rush

My Grand Uncle left me 500 pounds years ago and apparenlty i have been told to expect something substantial in the future, distant future i hope.

Probably slightly off thread but I once worked in an area that dealt with the administration of Wills and one elderly lady had a morbid fear of being buried alive and specified that her veins were to be cut before she was placed in the coffin !
My boss at the time was a rather domineering character and a difficult man to like had to go to the undertakers to be present at the time when a doctor opened the deceased's veins to ensure that her wishes were adhered to !
I can still vividly remember his face when he staggered back to the office even though it's over 20 years ago - funnily enough he was a far easier person to deal with after that experience.

LouOB

When I was v young I stayed with my granny one weekend while my parents went away. I asked her, when you die can I have your claddagh ring?
A very silly thing to say, but I was just a child (but havnt shaken off that trait though)
My granny left me her ring but my mother lost it when we moved house

Always wonder where ring went to - if a medium would like to tell me??!!

IvyTheTerrible

I've never been left anything, the only relatives that have died so far have not been well off.

I have a couple of rich single Aunties. But I have 31 cousins, so you do the maths!

Anyway for me, the most important things are the sentimental things, like grandad's pipe, or my grannies locket which her engagement photos in it. I'd never bank on getting left money or land. Causes more heartache than it's worth.

No. Do you own Maths. I'm sick of doing everyones maths.

Enough money to pay off morgage,buy a car,new kitchen,new garden,pay off bills and a few great holidays.

phasers

Thankfully none of my family have died so no.


Anyway, The will would probably read "Phasers, pay the bleedin ESB bill"

Was left a sum of money after a relative.

My cousin was left (by a neighbour) a farm worth millions a few years back :mad:

Lollipops23

my step grandad died a number of years ago and when the time came to sell the property, my parents gave me and my bros €15,000 each. My bros had been informed of this beforehand, but the cheque was just plonked down in front of me after dinner one evening....still remember not being able to finish my desert i was in so much shock!!

I always thought that clauses like that in wills had no legal standing.... that you no longer own you body when your dead and can not tell people what to do with it.

ChocolateSauce

I was left 25% of my grandmother's estate, but my aunt was to hold it in trust until her death, but my aunt went broke and spent it all, so no.

Dartz

*nothing*

Specifically *nothing*, the will said I was to get nothing. Cantankerous old cow,

Well **** that bitch, she used her will as a weapon to get people to suck up and be nice to her, take her on holidays and somesuch. They spent more money keeping her sweet than any of 'em got...

Good Riddance to her, and Good Riddance to the money hungry kissups who'll follow her soon enough when I get more thallium. j/k

Is that the Indo journalists family?

My mother died when I was a child and it was understood that I would get all her jewelery when I turned 18, for some strange reason my uncles made a big deal out of giving it to me, I got it eventually when I was 22.

I was also meant to get my grandmother's jewelery, but that never happened, just can't be bothered fighting for it. People are so strange.

rainbowdrop

My gran-uncle left instructions on his death bed, that I was to get a sugan chair, that he had made when he was only 12 or 13. He died at the age of 84, so its very old.
Its not worth big money, but to me it's priceless. When I was a kid, whenever I'd call to see him, I'd sit on that chair (eating tayto's and drinking red lemonade), and he'd always say to me "You can have that chair when I'm dead and gone".
It's one of my favourite possessions, if my house ever goes up in flames, I'l have that under one arm, and my laptop under the other while I'm making my escape:D

yurmothrintites

I got a car (to share with another person in the family) but it wasn't really a will deal, just kind of ended up in my hands.
There's also a cannonball from 1798 lying around somewhere but I'm not too sure who exactly it belongs to.

c - 13

Not really left in a will but when my Grandad died he left me his dog training whistle, not worth anything but means a lot to me, i was very young at the time so my mother held it for me until I was a bit older.

Think I was the only grandchild he left anything to.
