I expect little more than a predisposition towards depression and male pattern baldness.

I believe in creating a dynasty somewhat in the reflection of the Rockefellers. My vast empire will be left to my first born son to either grow further or be pissed down the drain, its his choice I'll be dead.

My Pop told me I'm getting nothing, my Sister from his new marriage is getting the lot. Oh well.

OP your mate deserves a nice loud slap in the face. I hope he gets nothing.

My dad often jokes when he buys stuff that it's coming out of my inheritance and I always say "Flipping right too!".
I don't give a hoot if I get no inheritance - my folks gave me what matters, their love and time - they helped me when I needed them from the day I was born and they work damn hard.
If I had a choice of my folks living their last years on a cruise ship living it up and an inheritance - I'd be marching them into that booking office before they could blink!

He is not my mate and I hope he gets nothing too. I hate mean people. I dropped a fiance once for that very reason. She was so so miserable !

This fcuktard needs to be watched carefully, as for any son to be angered/cross with his parents spending their own money defo needs to be watched. Lazy-ass bloke if this is the case and full of greed. I pitty his parents.

I prefer being able to make my own money.

I wouldn't want to get the house or anything. The stress of owning a property in Ireland...

That's scandalous, I'm from a wealthy background but am not exactly flowing with cash myself and I personally don't expect anything from my father when he passes on, If they help my son with fees for college in a few years then I'll be happy, My dad earned his money and he should spent it on himself, My brother and sister don't need his money either so my dad should spend it on hookers and holiday's.:)

The guy you know is a greedy shít and I hope they give him nothing.

Good chance so she feed myself and my folks when i was up there thirty odd years ago during my run under the knife.

LH Pathe · 04-05-2012 02:47AM

she "worked for bono's brother" before that, some office in town around the turn of the eighties anyhow I doubt many people are retaining much savings these days it's fùckd. There is a house for someone to inherit however n that'll never be sold by me, ohh no not over my dead body. actually I do, smell bitter inheritance wars

fitzeyboy. · 04-05-2012 03:06AM

Nope. I hope my parents will do the decent thing and blow it all on themselves. They earned it with hard graft over the years and have put 4 kids through college. If anyone deserves a spectacular retirement it's my parents.

People make such retarded decisions when it comes to inheritance. Tools.

Tell them to take a cruise thru Alaska, Barron, Icy, Breathtaking. They deserve it

Been told I am getting a €1 all cash in a good luck card.

Doc · 04-05-2012 03:48AM

I do expect that I will get some kind of inheritance but that's just because my parents aren't the kind of people who are likely to die with nothing but I wouldn't feel any sense of entitlement to anything. I would never presume to tell them what to do with their own money, now or in the future unless I thought what they were spending it on would adversely affect them. Even then it would only be advise that they could take or leave.

I have two brothers and I imagine that anything that was left after both my parents pass away would be split equally between us and if it was not I cant see myself questioning any decision my parents would make in that regard as anything they pass on to me would be a gift not mine by right and I would look on it as such.

I have seen inheritance really cause rifts in families when siblings feel that they have been unfairly treated or that one of them has taken things they shouldn't have. I would hate to think that anything like that would happen within mine.

But this will never affect me because my parents are never going to die, so shut up!!!

Where To · 04-05-2012 04:22AM

Im going to leave everything to boards.ie

hungrypig · 04-05-2012 06:32AM

hope my parents spend anything they have on themselves to enjoy life. practically speaking the family home will be left and parents are very fair so it will just be split. the inlaws will just leave a bill for their funeral.......bastards

force eleven · 04-05-2012 06:44AM

Only winners in inheritance law are the government. Gotta use your money to pay back the bankers right?

toexpress · 04-05-2012 07:14AM

One of my sisters and her husband are only waiting for it to happen my parents are only in their early sixties so I think and hope she has a good wait like. Last year my sisters father in law died and she was going on at Christmas about how great it was that he had his affairs in order and so on, basically nearly asking my parents what she could expect. And so the devil got a hold of me as they say around here and I suggested to my parents that they should sell the lot and spend it on nice holidays and any other comforts they would like before they die! She wasn't happy

And to be fair they are well entitled, they set each of us up with a property and a car when we came of age so they have given us enough already

MarkR · 04-05-2012 07:21AM

I thought this thread would be about passing on an iphone or something...

ICANN · 04-05-2012 07:22AM

Inheritance that way is something I never heard about really ntil I moved to England and a girl at work told me her grandparents bought her a car from her inheritance because they wanted her to enjoy it while they were alive. I just don't get it- slaving away to save your money to give your family when you die?!

Like some said already I hope my parents enjoy themselves with their money, they've worked hard enough for it.

suicide_circus · 04-05-2012 07:29AM

As the eldest son, I will inherit the bulk of my fathers estates in linolnshire and devonshire, my four brothers shall receive handsome yearly allowances ranging from £5000
- £1000 with provision for substantial increases on their production of a male heir.

token101 · 04-05-2012 07:38AM

Well if I don't the funeral money will be kept and a DIY cremation carried out.

Quality · 04-05-2012 07:40AM

My mam and dad have lots of savings and I always tell them, you had better spend it before you get too old to enjoy it!

Cause if they leave it to me it's going on cars, clothes and holidays!

oldyouth · 04-05-2012 07:48AM

Strange to see this thread, given that I've been awake since 5am mulling over the fact that I have yet to make a will myself.

Anyway, my folks gave me everything I needed and some of the things I wanted, when I was growing up. I was given a great start in life and that's enough for me. I'm trying to follow that through with my sons. I know exactly where my parents are with their financial affairs and I know it is all designed to give their extended family little treats (birthday presents, the odd €20 when the grandchildren visit etc). That's what gives them happiness

However, their main plan is to have sufficient savings so that they can provide for their own care needs later on. In that respect, they are using any inheritance for the benefit of the family

Legends, both of them

You should be able to stand on your own two feet once you're in the workplace/finished college. Family buying you cars/holidays/cash handouts in your 20s seems a little much to me.

And actually expecting an inheritence once they die is just a step too far. Their job was to bring you into the work and help you become an independent person.

Do you expect an inheritance?
