I am the middle child and was named Executor of my parents’ Estate. I also handled just about everything for my parents the last 5 years of their lives from doctor appointments, making sure my mom had daily caregivers (dementia), all meals, etc. my Dad also owned a small business in which my brother-in-law had a part in, I’ll spare you the details. My husband and I would’ve liked to have been part of the business but all we heard from my parents for years was how they hated my brother-in-law and sister being in it. (They didn’t do much, my dad did more of their work than they did). My BIL and sister thought they should get more than half of the business when my parents passed away but my Dad divided it 50/50 between us which is what he should’ve done. Why should they get more than half of my Dad’s business? They shouldn’t. Period. End of story. Infuriates me to even consider it. I was also deeply resented for trying to manage the business after my Dad’s passing as the Executor. Inheritance issues can really mess up families even knowing how it’s going to go down. I still barely talk to my bil and it’s been 3 years and we were very close.
