I happen to live 200 miles away from my parents, that's just how it ended up with work and my partner.

My two sisters still live in the same city (Oxford) and they do constantly go back and fawn over my parents often sending their dhs to help fix things around the house.

I'm only back a couple of times a year and do not fawn over them. Sister was discussing how much parents house had gone up in value and when I said great, she replied "well that's if you get any, seeing as you left them and rarely help out"

Aibu to think that I should still stand to inherit 1/3? The sums we are talking about are pretty large tbf.

I find the idea that parents would reward helpful children by favouring them in their wills really distasteful and I say that as the helpful child. One of my siblings is a complete shite to my parents but we will all receive equal shares of any inheritance.

SanFairyAnne I solved the problem of my dC vying for favourite child status by telling them that I will award favourite child status on whoever has last made me a cup of tea. It's simple, transparent and results in plenty of cups of tea.

Hmmm, Cordelia, is that you?

To be fair to the parents, we don't know if it's even crossed their minds to favour the sisters. Or have I missed something?

All these people completely uninterested in if they will get money or not. Just don't believe it. Wills or the lack of them and inheritance very often cause huge splits in families, that must be all the families of non mumsnetters I presume.

Anything could happen, the Dsiss could coerce the parents to leave them all their money, the parents could die without a will, the house could be sold to pay for care home fees, the parent could outlive the Sisters.
Really not worth bothering about as it is far in the future.
