what a shit.
Maybe she was an awful woman. Maybe he felt he deserved some compensation for having been brought up by her?
How likely is it that he was well parented?
Who give's a shit? He was still cheeky enough to ask for a share.
If he wanted her money, then he shouldnt have written a nasty letter saying he didnt want it.
simple really.
Who cares?
Inheritence isn't a right, it's a choice of the person who leaves a will.
Sounds to me like the arrogant tosser got what he deserved and I salute the old dear. He seems to think that he can treat people like shit then expect them to do his bidding, looks like his mum taught him a good lesson there. Perhaps that answers your "Good parenting" question...
Absolutly, God rest her soul, and may he have inconvienient things happen to him at akward moments.
"If you parents are wealthy and they bring you up badly, you should shut up about it and then you can have some of their money.
Expressing your hurt or anger would automatically disqualify you."
Though when writing that he didn't want to recieve any penny from her he did invite it.
Why should they automatically leave any money to him?
Surely they have the right to decide what happens with their own money?
See that's odd, I thought that was the point in having a will, deciding where your money goes...
I'm left assuming that you've all been well parented, and are incapable of imagining how a terrible upbringing might affect you for the rest of your life.
The other son is irrelevant - there's insufficient information and not everyone responds to an abusive upbringing in the same way.
Some shut up, some sit on it and then explode, some go on to screw their own kids up, some don't, some self-harm, others don't.
Regardless, her death bed was not the right time to declare it. At the end of the day it is her money and she is entitled to decide who gets it, no matter how horrible she was.
He said of his mother and late father, "Neither of you had the emotional capacity to bring up a dog, let alone a child."
There is also no context - why did he write the letter, had she said something to him before, the thing about this thread is the willingness to judge the guy before the facts are known.
His unbringing is irrelevant and, let's face it, subjective.
The basic principle is that his mother had the right to choose what happened to her money when she died. She chose not to give him any.
Just because he may have had a shit life doesn't give him the right to some inheritence. No-one has the right to expect anything from their forebears when they die.
But in spite of all of that, in spite of the past, the fact that he wrote saying that he didn't want to penny from her makes it a little sad that he then complains that he didn't get any. Indeed he got exactly what he asked her for.
He didn't say he didn't want a penny from her....... he said he would rather sit in a gutter than ask her for a penny piece.
I couldn't give a damn about whether he has a right to her money or not, its the tabloid style condemnation that gets to me.
Presumably if he didn't believe that his parents didn't have the emotional cap[acity to raise a dog he would never have written the letter in the first place........
tut-tut
my own brother blames my mum for everything that has ever gone wrong in his life. It doesnt mean it IS her fault. Just that hes believing what he wants to believe.
He was cheeky to contest the will after previously saying he didnt want her money. She was perfectly within her rights to leave her money to whoever she wanted to, expecially in the circumstances (that we know about)
He told his mum how much he hated her, said he didn't want her money, and then got all arsey and upset when he realised how much money he was missing out on.
If you want inheritance you are nice to your parents, if you send nasty letters then they won't give you anything.
Seems fair enough to me.
Don't make assumptions about people you know nothing about.
Face the fact that there is an overwhelming consensus from a group of conherrant people that he has the right to nothing, indeed inherritance is a gift not something that should be expected.
i wonder if that makes sense to anyone?
Roberta :thumb:
Unless she was a court as well as a dead woman, he didn't ask her for money.......
Yes but similarly we don't know that he had a great upbringing either. Personally I wouldn't like to pass comment because none of us know. However, if you feel strongly enough to tell your parents in a letter that you don't deem them fit enough to bring up a dog then I'm pretty sure you don't think you were treated very well as a child.
It's still irrelevant though.
How shit a mother she was is neitehr hither nor thither.
Of course, the idea that parents have any impact whatsoever on the way their children turn out is quite preposterous :rolleyes:
The way in which he was brought up in entirely irrelevant because he has no entitlement to the will. If he wishes to sue for compensation this is a different matter entirely.
As it stands he was cheeky enough to say he wanted nothing and then challenge the will in court.
Personally, I think it could have a lot to do with it. Like I said, I don't think we can pass judgement as I'll bet only the minimum facts have been reported.
If he can afford the costs of hiring a solicitor to challenge it then I'm sure he's done alright.
Cheeky ****.
Either he has a fucking cheek or he thought his mother loved him enough to wash the letter. Obviously the former is more correct.
