To not want to share my inheritance equaly

[Anonymouslyasking]

My half brother who I love dearly wants me to share my inheritance with him, he says my mum told him she would share it half half. That's not what she told me. Mum had passed away so we can't clarify now.
He received an inheritance from his mum that he didn't share.

I'm happy to give him a share but I feel half is too much. I don't want yo fall out with him but I feel it's unfair. AIBU?

Since he didn't share his inheritance with you, then you have no need to share your inheritance with him.
Remember the old saying "Do as you would be done by"!

If your Mum had really wanted to leave him something, she would have made a will. He's just trying to emotionally blackmail you for his own benefit. Keep your Mum's for yourself!

My dad wants him to have some but agrees with me privately that half us too much. I don't know what he says to my brother

she's covered that...

Sorry I keep cross posting. It's a fast moving thread!

OP
So to be more precise, because my mum died before my gran I inherited it straight from my gran. None of it ever belonged to any of my parents. It wa just assumed it would go to my mums

No, there was nothing but debt from him

I don't think it could be any clearer. You don't have to share the money morally or legally!!!

So did he just re-appear fairly recently? Was your mother ill when he made his re-appearance?

I am confused!

Read the thread. The dad left debt, not anything in his estate.

Don’t give him any - he’s not entitled and he won’t thank you for it!

Me too! Apparently the dad left debt but is also still alive!

The OP has just said her dad told her to share it!!!

Why do you feel you should give him something?

It was your gran's money - did she want him to have half?

As it was never your DM's money your DB has no claim, your DM may have promised him half but it was never hers to give away. Do you know how much he got from his DM? If it was a lot less I'd consider giving him some of yours but half is too much

Both my parents were wasters... It all came from my gran

So is your dad dead or alive?

OP, who is alive, who is dead and in what order did they die???

How much are we talking here? that he expects?

No,I think you have cross posted with updates (as I did).

The shared father has nothing to do with it- the inheritance came from maternal grandparents.

It isn’t much of a stretch to understand why your mum gave it all to you.

and it’s easy to say why he might be motivated to lie about what he said to her.

keep it. Leave him with some physical meaningful items if you choose (meaningful to him, not you)

Why would anyone expect the brother to share money from him mother with his half sister? They aren't related. The half sister isn't related to his mother! Crazy.

I don't know why OP couldn't have simply said "I inherited some money from my grandparents and my half brother is asking for a share. It came from the maternal side and he is my half brother because we share a father."

So why did you say she told you she wanted you to have her money of she didn’t have any?

So it’s your mums inheritance.
Then it’s from your grandparents.
Your Dad left debt.
Your Dad is still alive.
?

I voted you are being unreasonable, because you are unreasonable to even consider it!

tell him in no uncertain terms your mother told you otherwise and her will reflected that.

hes a chancer

Your DM and joint DF with your brother are irrelevant in this. You inherited direct from a grandparent you do not share with him, no different to his inheritance from his DM.

As for your mother saying he should have half, well he would say that, wouldn't he?

That.

This is bizarre. It's not money from your mum, it's directly from your grandparents to you. So why does he think he's entitled to any of it?

I'd hold fast and not give him anything.

Yes we all found ourselves moving back to our hometown around the same time
