To be absolutely incandescent with my bloody aunt.

My aunt has always been a selfish, self-absorbed woman, the world has to revolve around her. I have not had as much contact with her since she behaved appallingly at my wedding, but my mother has kept in more regular contact because of my grandmother who was ailing and needed support.

My grandmother died ten days ago. My mum went to her house to find it looking like it had been burgled. All drawers turned out, books pulled off shelves, all photo albums removed, all jewellery taken, all files and paperwork taken. My grandmother had a little tin of mementos, nothing expensive, just things that meant a lot to her, reminded her of the good times. That tin was upended onto the bed and raked through, then left there. Photos of my step grandpa (not my mum/aunts father but the man who was married to and adored my grandmother and her children/grandchildren for twenty years. We adored him too, he was a sweet and gentle man who treated us with so much love) who died fifteen years ago had been carefully picked out of the albums and discarded on the floor.

It was my aunt.

She has also taken the will.

This woman is a multimillionaire.

And the best bit? She went straight there from her dead mother's hospital bed.

My mother is in tears and is saying that this is the end of their relationship.

I don't think I can forgive this, AIBU.

Your aunt is a thief and ghastly with it. I would tell the solicitor what's happened (today) and forget further contact.

OP - well if this gets out and she gets prosecuted and Daily Mail take up the story then I hate to say it but she's had it coming to her.

she can't say grief made her do it either.

OK people do do awful things when people die but (see my posts) the ones who DO DO THAT are totally unreasonable, evil and deserve what they get.

If your grandmother left a Willl, then your aunt had no right to swoop in and remove stuff. You should speak to a Solicitor. And even if she did die instestate (no Will) your aunt still had no right to do what she did.And this circumstance, you should still consult a solicitor.
