Inheritance

Trying to keep this anonymous as possible for obvious reasons.

Darling Grandparent has left a shit show of a will and we’re not sure how to break it to the grandchildren:

Grandchild A: has got everything except some cash (the house/possessions/car/jewellery etc).
Grandchild B/C/D/E: has got the cash (not huge amounts) split between them.
Grandchild F: has been written out of the will (due to ‘personality differences’).
Grandchild G: nothing (but shouldn’t be too surprised due to behaviour somewhat recently but never that close).

Grandchild A knows they’ve inherited all and knew for a while but was a shock once the Will was written. Most of B/C/E knew it was coming that grandchild A would get all as they were the favoured.

Grandchild F has no idea that not only weren’t they particularly liked by their grandparent (silly life choices that the grand scheme of things aren’t a huge deal), that they need the funds more than all. Grandchild G will be very bitter but don’t really have a leg to stand on.

How on earth should the will be ‘read’ and should grandchild A split between all?

LOL FizzyGreenWater The OP hasn't posted since last Friday - I rather suspect it is MNers loving the drama of a good Will-related family row...

The Pil escaped all of this by blowing through £600k in care home fees, leaving just enough to pay for funerals.

Just as well as bil wanted estate to be divided equally between actual number of family members... handy that he has six dcs. He was even mooting his DD’s husbands qualified Shock

Dds’ husbands that should be, otherwise they look polygamous!

@DidoAtTheLido oh I missed that - I went to show OP posts after a bit as I couldn't take any more of it all... so perhaps you have a point Grin
