Woman Refuses to Give Brother Share of Inheritance From Dead Dad After Mom Left Her Nothing in Will
A woman on Reddit is refusing to share the inheritance she got from her late father after her dead mother left everything to her brother.
"When my mom passed, she left everything to my older brother, Jason. Jason never moved out of my mom’s home. He never had anything more than part-time minimum-wage jobs," she began.
"My mom forgot about me or my sister and preferred Jason. It also meant she had minimal contact with her grandchildren when she favored him," she continued.
"My father, who lost that home in a divorce, said it wasn’t fair that Jason inherited everything from my mom. My father suddenly passed away, and Jason was kept out of his will because my dad was still sour about what my mom did," the woman explained.
"Jason was shocked when he was left out of my dad’s will. He said the property tax on my mom’s house was late because he was planning to use the money from Dad's inheritance, which was a dirty trick Dad pulled on him," she continued.
"My sister Debbie already told Jason to get a f---ing job, and maybe he will have the $7,000 by the time it’s due. I’m also not giving Jason s--t. It’s how my dad wanted it," the frustrated woman shared.
"Jason was freaking out during the reading because he didn’t get anything, and he’s already going through most of my mom’s money and hasn’t worked in five years since her death. He called us all [redacted] and said he needed the money more than us. I’m sure this was the same line he used on my mom to get Debbie and me written out of my mom’s will," she recalled.
Jason acts like he will fight the will, but my dad talked about how Jason got 100% of my mom’s inheritance; he doesn’t get anything. On top of my dad’s insurance, Debbie and I are going to sell my dad’s home, and hopefully, the market stays hot. I suggest to my brother that he do the same thing and take the money and downsize to a smaller apartment or home.
The woman concluded that her brother is "ranting to anyone who will listen, calling us selfish, and even setting up a GoFundMe for his taxes."

Users in the comments section backed the woman and slammed her selfish brother.
"Wow. That’s a lot of simmering resentment and passive-aggressive bequeathing. You and your sister seem to have become unwitting pawns in this unfortunate game, which is not a comfortable place to be. Jason, on the other hand, needs to grow up and take responsibility for his life," one person wrote.
"I don't think this needs great elaboration. You were treated unfairly and he seems to be a lazy jerk who deserves what's coming to him. You are totally reasonable in saying 'No!'," someone else wrote.
"Did Jason give you any of the inheritance left by y’all mom? No? Then Jason shouldn’t be acting entitled. He wasn’t willing to give you or Debbie anything then why should y’all help him out?" someone else commented.
