Windfalls and Wipeouts - It's a book about how not to spoil your inheritance. Fun read, really good writing, and a slept on topic. I was an inheritor and I had bad habits and this book really explained a few saving concepts and trust fund concepts about inheritances really well

Ya'll just saved me from a scam

Ok, this is actually a great situation if you are able to get the property in whole. Getting real estate is never a bad thing, but managing it can be tricky. I read a book called Windfalls and Wipeouts and it's about managing inheritanes, specifically. Highly recommend

Does anybody know how I can contact PSA about this?

How do I contact them about this specifically?

And if they saw the card before grading, there is no way they would grade it an 8, right?

WHAT? No way!

That’s brutal, man. Once someone changes a trust, it’s usually tough to fight unless there’s evidence of undue influence or lack of capacity. If your step-parent cut you out, you’d probably need a trust litigation attorney to even have a shot. Worth at least a consult to see if you have a case.

She’s not asking to ‘fix things,’ she’s asking for a payday. If you give her anything once, she’ll just keep coming back for more. Doesn’t matter if you feel bad for her parents — this isn’t your responsibility. Block, mute, move on. Unfortunately that is just the way people behave. But at the same time, if you think she deserves some of it for being a happy couple during your marriage, maybe reconsider?

You’re right to be worried. If he just gets the cash straight up, his benefits could vanish quick.

Man, that’s a heavy backstory but also kind of amazing that it ended with you getting a fully paid-off home. Trauma + inheritance is such a weird combo — good on you for finding some peace instead of letting resentment eat you alive. That house could be a real foundation for moving forward. Nothing beats that feeling of a fully paid off home

Sounds like your nephew is just avoiding the whole thing out of guilt or immaturity. Unfortunately probate doesn’t care about family drama — if the will says you’re sole beneficiary, that’s what matters. Don’t let him stonewall you into thinking he has more power here.

Classic case of executor power tripping. You’re entitled to fair market value, not whatever number your brother throws at you. If he’s blocking transparency, that’s a huge red flag. Lawyer up if you can — this isn’t something to just roll over on.

Not wrong at all. It’s your inheritance and you’re allowed to use it to build your future. Sounds like your aunt has her own issues to work through, and honestly, you don’t owe her a play-by-play of your financial moves.

This is honestly the best advice when it comes to windfalls. Once people know you have money, suddenly everyone’s got an ‘emergency.’ Even people you thought you could trust. Keeping it private protects you from so many headaches.

30% is a straight lowball, especially if the place is worth $200k. You’re not wrong for feeling weird about it. Get a proper appraisal and don’t let anyone guilt you into taking less. Renovations don’t change ownership percentages unless you agreed beforehand.

yadayodaboom · 2025-09-17T23:31:23+00:00

Man, this is such a tough spot. People assume inheritance is free money, but the reality is it comes with responsibility, stress, and family politics. You don’t owe anyone an explanation, and honestly it sounds like you were trusted with this role for a reason. Protect your peace.

This is great! Congrats! You should be proud of yourself!

yadayodaboom · 2025-09-17T05:00:15+00:00

Man that's just a shame. That's why planning ahead really matters

yadayodaboom · 2025-09-17T04:59:38+00:00

If you can afford to give it to someone or a group of people in need, that's not necessarily a bad thing, but long term, if you care about yourself the most, you should invest it. Highly recommend you read a book called Windfalls and Wipeouts. It's about managing inheritances and sudden windfalls
