Do you expect an inheritance?

haminka · 04-05-2012 07:50AM

I dream about the day when my mum decides to blow her money on male strippers and a trip around the world, sadly she keeps saying she is saving for us. I'd like her to enjoy her life more, she gave us more than we ever deserved. People who expect their parents to live frugally so that they can inherit the lot are nasty eejits who deserve nothing good.

I got shag all from any of my departed relatives and did all right in life without it.:)

Ideally, my last will and testament would read: "I, Ellis Dee, being of sound mind, spent it all on booze, dope and whores before I shuffled off this mortal coil ...":D:D:D:D

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.

We have the same Foxy avatar and posted within a minute of each other...what's say you leave me everything and I will make sure it goes to an acceptable Fox charity?

04-05-2012 07:57AM

my grandparents tell me sometimes i will get this or that but i don't really listen... it's their money and i'd rather they not die in the first place
ah well
i am not sure my mother has much to leave me and again i don't care...

Echoes675 · 04-05-2012 07:58AM

I would rather have nothing than have to face the fact of either of my parents not being here. They are worth far more to me than money and stuff.

OP your mate is a dick!

My kids will get the prce of my plot and maybe the house, Thats it. What you think ?

SKIing by elderly people is a growing problem.

I'm dreading inheritance issues, all it means to me is having to deal with a difficult sibling. I'd be delighted if it all went to an animal shelter.

pickarooney · 04-05-2012 08:52AM

I don't expect to get anything and don't intend to leave anything.

My Mam passed away almost 3 years ago and the sperm donor that is my Father moved back into the family home. He kept my Mam short of money all the days of her life and since her death he has promised the family home to each of us (4 in the family), gave little insurance policies (just enough to cover a small funeral, and it will be!!) to each of us.....basically he was a
sh1t all the days of his life and now he is trying to buy time with his children!!

Personally I could not care less if he gives it to a cat's home.....I managed with nothing from the Prik thus far and it is a source of some satisfaction to me that he has to buy a familial relationship now. Quick blessing, no cars, no flowers, no afters, a hole in the ground or a hot oven............on that the four siblings are completely agreed!!

Bitter much :eek: Didn't realise how angry I am until I started typing this, you should have seen the pre-edit version!!! I most definetly have an evil side!!

My sister is always reminding the parents about the cost of nursing homes and medical treatment. keeps saying that you would want plenty of money in the bank for that in reference to any kind of charge. the whole object is to encourage the parents to hoard every penny.

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

And some amount will be spent on punctuation.

You're depending on your younger brothers to provide the family with a Male Heir?

My sympathies to you Sir, rotting of the bollocks is a terrible infliction.

I only got a broken locket when I was left on the steps of the orphanage. Some day they will come back for me.

Betya he reads, betya she sews, maybe she will make me a closet of clothes

NiallFH · 04-05-2012 09:32AM

My mother keeps telling me she will take me out of her will... I keep telling her she hasnt got anything to leave for me XD

allibastor · 04-05-2012 09:34AM

i don't expect anything and i don't want anything.

it is a sad person who needs to wait for the deaths of family to gain things in life.

if i cant get it myself i don't deserve it.

anyway we have told my terminally ill father that when he dies we will bury his money with him.

seanmc1980 · 04-05-2012 09:35AM

i wouldn't expect anything from my parents but thedo have a fair bit of wealth accululated over their life so it is enevitable that they will leave it to me and my 2 siblings. hopefully it can pay off my own house and i can return the favour to my own kids when i die,

Flincher · 04-05-2012 09:37AM

My dad always jokes that if there is more than a fiver left in his account when he's gone, then the accountant has made a mistake.

I'd rather they spent it on themselves anyway. They worked hard enough to put us through college, even paid for my Masters, and refused to take anything money from me when I got a decent job from it. I was more than happy to contribute towards it, but they just told me I would do the same for my kids. I get them nice Christmas, birthday and anniversary presents instead.

They will both retire in a few years, and I hope they spend whatever they have on whatever they want. They've given myself and the siblings enough over the last 25+ years.

04-05-2012 09:46AM

My parents don't have much, they have a lovely little old council cottage that isn't worth an awful lot but is where I grew up, and then whatever bit of savings they have. I know I'm getting exactly half of anything my mam and dad have, because I have been told that everything is to be split exactly equally between me and my sis. However, my parents are still quite young and if they sold their house and went travelling the world I would be bloody thrilled for them. It's not my money, I didn't do anything to deserve it and as someone else already said, I'd rather have them here with me than have their money.

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

If you want to piss your sister off I am willing to be adopted by your parents.

cyrusdvirus · 04-05-2012 09:56AM

My parents are spending as much time as possible SKI-ing.

(Spending Kids Inheritence)

And we all love it. There's the family home, which cannot be sold according to their wishes, until my youngest sibling is sorted out with college,and full time job.

Other than that, i sincerly hiope there is not a brass tack left in the coffers when they eventually snuff it!!

Plazaman · 04-05-2012 10:11AM

Won't need any inheritence as it's my turn to win the lotto this weekend (it's true, it's going alphabetically I think).

Unfortunately I intend to have all 5.2 mill spent by nightfall Monday in a Brewsters Millions sort of deal so the irony is I won't be leaving an inheritence either.

As my Grandfather always used to say, "The party's never over". Daft bastárd. Any inheritence he had to pass on was well spent by the time he died in that brothel in Honduras, aged 87, under three whores. He's my idol.

previous user · 04-05-2012 10:15AM

Yes I'm expecting about 150,000 euro.

smash · 04-05-2012 10:17AM

My mother gets upset when I talk about what I want when she dies. She's a bit odd like that.

matrim · 04-05-2012 10:19AM

I expect my parents will give me one as that's the kind of people they are. But I don't expect them to have to and I'd prefer them to spend it all and be happy than live in discomfort and keep something for me.

I think I'm lucky that none of my family care that much about money and just want our parents to be happy. My fathers family was torn apart because of fueds of who got what from my grandfather (even before he died as he divided his farm when he retired)

lazygal · 04-05-2012 10:20AM

No, not from my parents. I know they've planned to split everything evenly between me and my siblings. They've given all of us a good start in life in terms of education and other things so I'd rather them enjoy the golden years and spend their money freely than feel they have to leave us something.

I think its selfish to 'expect' an inheritance, its up to people what they want to leave (if anything) after they die. I've recently made a new will for practical reasons as dying intestate is a pain in the hole for relatives, and there's a couple of small bequests to my siblings but Id' say they don't even know about them.

Plus, if they solve the riddle there's bounty beyond their wildest dreams to be found.

Eh, nobody is saying they need to wait 'til a family member dies..it's just the way it is! Sounds like someone's not getting anything!

I stand to inherit quite a lot. Honestly, not bothered about it either way. I guess if I have kids I'll pass it on to their futures.

Duggy747 · 04-05-2012 10:25AM

I don't want any inheritance, it can be a vicious thing that pulls families apart over petty squables, money, and possessions. I've known too many people who've stopped talking to their siblings because of such.

Huge fight over my grandparent's inheritance ruined my mother's family since none of the relations will talk to each other after fighting over who should get what. Vicious squabble which has lasted years.

It's stupid when your parents legacy boils down to their possessions and how much you deserve them.

You could always check out the crap parents thread for a bit of balance.

My Dad doesn't have anything to pass on, I doubt I will either but I did piss off my future mother in law big time when I said that we decided that if we had money to pass on we would be means testing it, the child gets the amount that would be most helpful to their financial needs. Oh you should have seen her face, priceless, not sure why she was so against it her brother is a millionaire and was given everything in the will.

Do you expect an inheritance?
