'My brother continues to be coddled by our mother. He's over 30 with no job, and my mother is still paying his bills and even doing his laundry.'

Picture it: North Carolina, May 2018. My grandfather passed away a few years ago and left a nice piece of property to his two heirs. My mom inherited the house; my uncle inherited the land. It was always decided — even in her will — that after her passing, my brother and I would inherit the house and do with it as we pleased.

“ ‘My family offered me a check for less than 10% of the sale of the house. I refused to accept the payment and we have not spoken since, other than ‘Happy Mother’s Day’ or ‘Merry Christmas’ texts. ‘ ” I have spent the entirety of my life being the smarter, more successful child while my brother continues to be coddled by our mother — he’s over 30 with no job, and my mother is still paying his bills and even doing his laundry. She is an enabler who refuses to admit it.

“ ‘He could do no wrong. You did everything right, as you see it. No amount of money will fix that.’ ” Your best hope of receiving a share — I did not say “fair share” — of the house is that your mother leaves you whatever remains of the proceeds of the sale in her will. She may need that money for living expenses and unforeseen medical care.

Nope.

Mom has Rested! She did that and Nothing can be done, your Brother can have a HEART and SHARE! PRAY! EVERYTHING will be so RIGHT! U and ur Brother in Peace and Loving each Other, MUCH!

Simple math would tell you that 50% of an asset is a helluva lot better than 10% 🤣🤦🏼‍♂️

thanks

fair? mommy can do what she wants

Shes a cold piece

No that not fair

I didn't get offered any percentage. My siblings gradually drained over $100K of our mother's home equity and she sold her house to pay off the debt. Now she's in assisted living asking me to send money.
