Do you expect an inheritance?

Stiffler2 · 04-05-2012 11:21AM

I've told my old man to go out and spend all his money / savings.
Buy that porsche you always wanted.

The regime will just find a way to tax ( the bollox ) out of that shortly as well

I would much prefer my parents to spend their money and enjoy their remaining years. Wouldnt bother me in the slightest not to get an inheritance.

My granny is mad with her money. Every few weeks she is threatening to change her will if one of her children annoy her

Its like something out of King Lear. The funny thing is her children (they are all in their 50's and 60's) all have their own money and arnt interested in any inheritance.

No kids myself so my property which i purchased in the early part of the last decade thanks to the good folks of West Cork and their pyramid scheme paid for will be going to one of my nephews or niece.

One brother got the house, the rest of us had everything divided evenly - but loads went to the solicitor and the government.

The brother who got the house can't get work locally so the house is an empty shell, as he had to go abroad.

We'd rather have our parents alive and well.

I would be lucky to inherit a retarded greyhound with my luck.

Filthy blood scuking bastard, we all know one of those

Nothingbetter2d · 04-05-2012 12:27PM

my parents have told us everything gets spilt evenly so basically ill get 20% of what they have when they die.

kylith · 04-05-2012 12:29PM

I've been told to expect an inheritance, but to be honest I couldn't give a hang if my parents sold every thing they own and decided to spend the rest of their lives living it up on the Riviera.

120_Minutes · 04-05-2012 12:37PM

My parents worked hard to get what little they have, and they're allright at the moment. I'll be getting an inheritance, but they should live it up while they can for however long they can.

My granny, in her later years, kept repeating that my uncle should get her cutlery as well as his share of anything else when she died "because he had a mortgage". At the time all her children had mortgages, families and cutlery of their own. Never could figure what her obsession with the cutlery was - it was grand, but nothing exciting.

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

I can do it all by myself her reaction to my comments at Christmas was that it's ok for me because my partner left me comfortable when he died and I am alone no kids to worry about.

She's a charmer isn't she!

Inheritance tax will probably be 95% in 20 years time, so you'd be lucky to break even after the solicitors expenses.

Cee-Jay-Cee · 04-05-2012 01:33PM

I probably will get something and my family home is being left to myself and 3 siblings however i dont want it, i'd rather have my mum around. My sister takes great interest in my mums financial affairs but not to the extent of the OP, i on the other hand encourage my mum to spend her money on what ever she needs or wants and to enjoy it. My dad died 12 years ago and left my mum very well off, she has given the four of us so much money over the years for all our weddings, house deposits, cars, holidays etc etc I dont expect any more from her and hope she enjoys the money herself from now on. We'll all survive just fine without it.

My Parents gave me the one thing money can't buy.

(Poverty).

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.

it was directed at the post from the OP. please read the whole thread and think that maybe someone is not talking about YOU. it was a response to the OP>

"And to John, who wanted to be mentioned in my will - Hi John!"

Nasty_Girl · 04-05-2012 04:20PM

Hell no.
I make my own way in life thank you.
My parents never inherited anything from theirs and my husbands family are the same. Although my husband was unofficially left two old cars from elderly relatives over the years but both times other relatives "intervened" and made sure he never got them.
Seen too many families fall out over money so I'd hate to see that happen to us.
I also know too many people who are dependent on their inheritence to get them "set up". I couldn't live like that

mongdesade · 04-05-2012 04:29PM

Started out with nothing & I've still got most of it left...I expect nothing, I make my own way in life

Hell no, I've told my parents to spend everything they've got if they want to. It's their money to enjoy, we should earn our own!

Abi · 04-05-2012 04:51PM

Discussing money, how vulgar,

RichieC · 04-05-2012 04:56PM

Oy... The curly wurly in the fridge is mine I said. See you in court they said. It's ripped our family apart.

Frances, who was not a party to yesterday's court case, had in 2005 swapped her quarter share of the family home with, Mary and William French, for two small land sites the couple owned in Florida.
...
Noel Goulding, who died in August 2006,

the year before :eek:

I will never understand the eldest and/or son bias. I find it sickening tbh.
Or male heir, I couldn't give a bollox.

It may seem like greed but the real problem is no proper provisions for the division of assets. I know other scenarios like this where kids and grandchildren have various fractions of a home the family home, also someone in the family lives there, it's retarded.

Do you expect an inheritance?
