Left out of Will

[IseeIsee]

How would you feel if one sibling was left everything in the Will whilst all other siblings were left nothing?

This has come up in my family where my parents will leave everything to one only. The reason they have given is we have houses whilst he does not. He has a good job and deposit but chooses not to buy.

It is my parents money to do as they choose of course and if they spent it all on themselves I would think nothing of it. I am not really upset about the money but just think it is a little odd that they are singleing out one sibling only to benefit. AIBU

Of course it's their money to do what they like with

That doesn't stop their choice of what to do with their money being hurtful and Imo selfish and unkind

sausageroll wouldnt any pensions or policies be considered as marital assets so they would be dealt with when the divorce is being finalised?

I've no idea, TBH - just pondering on the basis of having to nominate a spousal beneficiary rather than it being done automatically (is that correct?!)

Surely they'd still need to be picked up by competent solicitors, though. Some people just divorce amicably or are ill-advised/too trusting and don't ask for/contest/fight for a fair settlement. A minority might even consider it 'dirty money', forever associated with their now-hated ex-spouse and not want anything to do with it, or consider that it compromises their own hard-won independence from the ex.
