is this comon place when getting inheritance?

[masterofdoomv1]

so my parents past away last year as soon as my father passed away some of the neighbours started circling like vultures to see what they could get then mum passed away left me house and some money and i just feel that theres either jealousy from people or people trying to take advantage and seeing what they can get i must of lead a sheltered life cause i just find it hard to trust people now i feel like im being unfairly judged for getting house or people are on the scrounge they wont ask directly but theres always heavy hints im tired of it

Seen the same with my own eyes. Including family.

For some reason death brings out the greed in people on a lot of occasions.

Why on earth would neighbours inherit anything?!

What kind of hints?

Well exactly. What on earth has it got to do with them?

I've never heard of it from neighbours, but any talk of inheritance seems to bring out the absolute worst in people sadly.

People are either in the will or they're not. Probate is the process whereby will become public knowledge.

So 'sniffing around' is what - attempts at taking goods from the house? Hints to do so? Hints at thieving?

Please @masterofdoomv1 tell them all to get stuffed.

Like my dad says ‘where there’s a will,theres a relative’
so bloody true-my fil died last year and the amount of jealousy was unreal-we got nothing!
his wife (my mil) of 50 years got everything (rightly so) and when she passes we will get very little as she wants to make sure other family members are left something-which is 100% fair enough-it’s her money

My father in law died, we couldn’t believe his neighbours. One lady said that he had promised her his jet washer and said she’d like his plants. We had already taken the plants, but said once we found the jet washer she could have it. He had quite a lot of engineering equipment in his shed and we had some of his friends round to take a look and offer to buy some stuff, which they did, but they also took a few other things. I wasn’t there but DH let them take what they liked. You definitely see a different side to people.

Working as a home carer for elderly, I saw a lot of this. One more than one occasion elderly relative in hospital, might be close to the end. The vultures start circling (having ignored them.for years) some have even been known to start "tarting up the property " ready to on the market.Then suddenly old Auntie Martha starts to rally, and is discharged back home.
Always made me smile. Oh and Old Auntie Martha knew exactly what they were up to 😉😉

Why on earth would neighbours inherit anything?!

they werent after inheritance on one occasion for example after dad passed away 2 neighbours were asked to take away a lot of boxes to rubbish tip as mum did shopping on amazon as she couldnt go out due to her being ill so amazon cardboard boxes built up and one of neighbours had van one of the neighbours came into house seen a shark hoover only a few weeks old her eyes lit up and asked if that was to go i laughed it off thinking she was joking went to hut where the boxes were opened door and she seen a black and decker strimmer again new same reaction eyes lit up asked if that was to go when she realised it was only empty boxes they were getting to tip which they had already been told they got into van after boxes were put in it and the neighbour said with an attitude 'thats some state you let the hut get into your dad wouldnt have let it get like that' and they they drove off

ive never said the neighbours were to inherit anything they were on the scrounge believing that because they were on freindly terms with parents theyd be entitled to something

autumn not thieving id say trying to take advantage and acting like they deserved stuff ill give another examply my dads brother and his daughter claimed they were promised stuff by my dad a few months before he passed neither me or mum were told about this by dad and his brother and neice werent in will but sure enough when my parents passed dads brother and daughter claimed they were promised items that were given to dad when theyre parents passed away and the items were supposedly in loft they never went into specifics about what the items were apart from a clock which they did get and that was in living room they went into loft no sign of items they claimed to have been promised they were given items such as a coin collection dad had a watch that my fathers brother claimed belonged to theyre mum the clock that i mentioned a painting one of my fathers colleagues did for him before he retired and a lot of family photos of them and parents they then went to a neighbour claimed that they were promised toys my father and his brother had as children and that i had hid them because there was no sign of them

i dont talk to them now things are being finalised with title deeds of house being put in my name and once it goes through ill be moving on ill be glad to be out of it its strange people say moving is the most stresfull thing youll have to deal with id rather deal with that 100 over than deal with an estate

Tealpoppy i agree 100 % with what you say i wish everybody thought like that

Thats nothing my brother just died of cancer today and the family are already in his house raiding it of everything they can get there hands on they've taken his cars, jewellery cash everything im absolutely ashamed of them they make me feel sick my brothers not even brought from the hospital yet or had his funeral.. this is what happens people today are disgusting foul rats...

When my gran moved into a care home, before she’d even died, my aunt, uncle and cousins turned up to her house with two cars and a van and took the lot. By the time my brother arrived (our dad died a few years ago), there was nothing left except for a few old tools in the shed. They really went out of their way to make sure our side of the family got nothing. When she died it turned out my brother and I had been taken out of her will, which was updated while after she was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. I suspect my aunt and uncle had something to do with that. People are bastards.
