4 siblings A, B, C and D. 3 eldest are in their 50s. Youngest was “a happy accident” and is in 30s.
After D was born the Mum of the family developed serious illness and A who had just finished university came Home and basically brought up A and looked after Mum while the Dad worked. A has spent her entire life as Carer for Mum who died 5 years ago. A couple of years after this Dad became ill. A cared for him and he has now died.
Only real asset is House. Worth about 500k. Will says divide by 4.
B and C have good jobs (probably 50-60k per annum), houses and families. C has a huge mortgage as they have pulled out equity to fund holidays, cars etc. Both have kids in their 20s.
D is a professional and earns 150k. Married and young children.
2 bed flat in area of House will cost 350k (SE). D says A should get enough of will to buy flat and rest can be split between 3. (This means B, C and D will get about 40k each rather then 125k).
B says while he would like to do that he needs to help his kids on property ladder and that 40k won’t be sufficient (3 kids).
C says the will is clear and should be shared equally. He also adds D is only suggesting this as they will end up sole beneficiary of As will (A and D being incredibly close).
D has offered to give B and C their proportion of money so they would get 60k each. Both have said no.
A doesn’t want anyone to fall out, says the money should be shared in 4 and says it’s fine, they’ll find work and use the equity as rent (they won’t get mortgage).
D thinks B and C are being selfish. C thinks D is (and ultimately doing this to get all the money).
Who is AIBU and what should be done?
