Family disputes over inheritance are often a major source of tension, especially when relatives feel entitled to a larger share. When Wendy’s mother pa:ss:ed away, her sister Cynthia argued that Wendy didn’t deserve an equal portion, claiming she hadn’t shown enough commitment to their mother.
Things came to a head during a recent visit to their childhood home, leaving Wendy emotionally exhausted and unsure how to proceed. Seeking advice, she reached out for guidance.
This is Wendy’s story:
Hello,
My name is Wendy. I’m 35 years old and a mother to twin 8-year-old boys. My older sister, Cynthia, who is 37, devoted nearly a decade of her life to caring for our ill mother.
Meanwhile, I focused on raising my own family. Last week, our mother pa:ss:ed away. Since then, Cynthia has refused to share the inheritance, accusing me of being a “selfish child who forfeited her family rights.”
The real sh0ck, however, came when I found out that before her d3ath, our mother had legally transferred all her assets to Cynthia. This includes about $85,000 in savings, a parcel of land, and, most painfully, our family home.
