Inheritance

My sister has told me that our parents have written our sibling out of their Wills. This sibling went NC with all of us over a decade ago.
I would like to know what you would do when our parents pass away. Would you transfer some of your inheritance to the NC sibling?

If the sibling had suffered from terrible treatment/abuse to warrant the nc I would, otherwise no. I think it's a very shitty thing to do to all of you with no explanation and justification. I would probably try quite hard to get in touch with them though, to understand the situation and see if they are ok.

I would give them something because I would hope they found a way back to me if that makes sense.

My sibling is NC with our parents for many years. Also in a controlling relationship, sibling not “allowed” to speak/visit our family. After years of trying to maintain contact, my parents gave up. They also cut sibling off their will, they don’t want the abuser to enjoy any of their money. My other sibling and I will have to respect their decision .

I think it’s abhorrent to do this to a child/sibling in an abusive relationship.

Nope. If your parents wanted your sibling to receive something, they'd have left them in the will.
