Zero Inheritance - Advice

[CunnyLingus]

I know inheritances rarely get discussed on Mumsnet so apologies if this is not something that I should be asking really.

I am not going to inherit anything. I also have nobody to leave what I have to. Charities do not bear inheritance tax. If I leave anything they will be lucky, but chances are I am going to spend the lot before I pop.

Can I ask for your 'zero inheritance advice' please on my non-predicament. I would really like to know how to be fair to nobody.

I really don’t understand what you are asking?

Well OP it depends how much you have....you obviously need enough to live on yourself...but if you're wealthy, why not help some charities out? Food banks? Children's charities? But do it now...not when you're gone?

Can you do a Daily Mail ‘Sad face’ to complement your ‘non-predicament’ OP 😟

I think your all missing the ‘ironic’ point 😂

Well for the past week there had been 5 or more posts on this subject.

We need a good inheritance thread.

Can you do ‘ironic’?

Trouble is you don't know how long you have! Blow it all on a round the world trip - then live for another five years!

I know I will not get much as they are helping me more when they are alive.

Absolutely there hasn’t been enough lately

You stole my idea by starting this thread OP.
I am the aggrieved party here. You should leave the lot to me.

That would make it worse @Pipandmum

I would have even less of nothing and nobody to leave nothing to. It's OK for toffs like Rees-Mogg and Gove and....that bloke with the big ears, but nobody is going to have a fall out over my estate. One rule for them and another rule for the likes of me.

Can you get married, OP? Preferably to someone who already has a complex inheritance situation? Then you can see a solicitor and get a trust drawn up to benefit nobody at all?

We need a family tree OP!

That's a great idea - a Bare Trust.

I will settle a tin of chick peas on trust when I go.

My kids will get nothing as I have nothing.

How about leaving the lot to the Bob Dylan fan club? Perhaps it could go to your local Civic Society to pay for parent and child parking spaces in the town centre. One more idea would be to leave it to the Bolleaux Institute to fund research into the size of Universal Credit claimants televisions.

Your legacy will ensure the MNers of the future will have much to froth over.

If there is anything to leave, leave it to the government. Then they can pay tax on their tax.

If I were single and alone in the world I would not buy a house. I would make a will out purely for the disposal of my earthly remains, and to hell with the rest. Actually no - I would leave anything left to fluffy animals

Leave it to the 🐐 you know it makes sense

Great idea. Hit them with their own petard.

I don't know why MNers get so upset about inheritance threads.

Oh, wait, yes I do.

You're being so unfair OP, think of your poor nobody's!
