@kartwk That’s sad. I would never have thought my siblings would be so disrespectful of my parents wishes or so predatory about my parents’ property. It’s been shocking to watch and I feel sorry for my father in particular. He and I both being lawyers have always been very close. As I was with my mother. I’ve loved spending time with both very much. I still take my father out at least 3 times a week for at least 3 hours each time for a meal, walk and drive and do any errands he needs. My siblings will never get those opportunities back.

I’ve never counted on inheriting so I’ve made sure I’m not reliant on my parents ‘ property. It would be helpful but it has never been part of my retirement plan!

I think that’s where this unpleasantness has come from. They have planned on inheriting and not accumulating themselves what they need to retire let alone retire comfortably. Especially my brother.

They also don’t seem to understand that an executor is legally bound to follow what the Will says. It’s my father’s wishes that count.

They also believe their “needs” now outweigh mine and what’s fair. My parents have always been very strong about treating we 3 kids exactly the same when we were growing up. We all got the same opportunities.

It’s unfortunate that the opportunity for a free lunch can change some people 💔
