re: Reasons for cutting an heir out of a will?

Not cut out, but I think it's crap when siblings live across the country, do zero to help, and get equal parts of the inheritance. I'm not saying they should receive zero, but the person that is taking care of the deceased for years prior deserves a larger piece of the pie. Taking them everywhere they have to go, dealing with doctor's visits, grocery shopping, paying their bills, etc. Then they pass and Cousin Bob walks in expecting to get the same cut when they haven't been around their entire lives. Just doesn't seem right to me.

That's precisely why I got the property rather than my siblings or cousins. I bought a portion of the land from my grandfather prior to his getting sick and built a house on it after my grandmother passed my wife and kids were living their and my wife took care of her grandfather in law for years while I was ending my military career, then I came home and took over. The last 2 years he was alive he didn't even want to leave the house, he couldn't cook , anything. EVERY night I cooked dinner and we packed up our entire household and went and had dinner at his house. My name was on hich checking account so I could take care of paying his bills, my wife cleaned his house, I did all his yard work, etc etc. The last month he was alive I lived at his house full time , he couldn't even get up and go to the bathroom himself.

MY brother and sister were like "frick it, I didn't want to do that, enjoy the inheritence" my cousins who never even saw grandpa the last 4 or 5 years of his life were pissed.

On the other hand , my other grandparents lived in Vegas and when they got sick a cousin took care of them, that cousin got the house and what little else they had and THOSE cousins were pissed at that cousin. me and my siblings thought it fine the way things played out. Dude was there everyday and he was doing it b/c he was there everyday with them before they got sick and he loved them, not because he wanted their house.

I'd give up the 300 acres to have another 10 years with my grandparents. Fact.

You’re a dumb.

I wish I knew

My paternal grandparents cut me and my sibling out of their will two weeks after my dad died.

The will is annoyingly vague, but I have a theory that it was faith based that we had convert from First Baptist to Catholic.

Felonies, tattoos, smoking pot, drugs, marrying someone I deem as trashy or irresponsible/dumb, growing up acting like a spoiled brat, having trashy or dumb friends, not working a real career (eg McDonald’s or retail).

Of course if I only had one kid and he/she did one or more of the above, I would probably sell it all and put the money in a trust for the grandkids.

If I had an heir married to a complete piece of shite I might consider leaving evening to one heir (that I trusted) and have them relinquish some to the other yearly to avoid my heirs piece of shite sibling basically inheriting half of my estate.

Only for heirs who are mentally or physically incapable of taking care of themselves or are under 24 years old at the time of their parents' death. Parent used to not be able to disinherit any of their children for any reason; this part has now been repealed.

I’m well aware. That doesn’t change the fact that we still have forced heirs and forced heirship.

Anyone who knows what they are talking about is referring to kids under 24 and/or disabled when they say “forced heir”

Everyone should have one. Even if you are 21 years old. That is the mistake. It cuts through lots of red tape.

Yep, my parents and I had this conversation when I moved OOS. They dont have much, but I said their house and small camp should go to my sister. My BIL and she are in a much better spot to enjoy it. I told then if they wanted to do anything for me, just will money into a college fund for the future grandkids.

My parents worked their asses off to get us (their kids) to a point that we don't need any money from them.

I told them they should just enjoy their retirement, travel, etc. Dont worry about leaving anything.
