Message: <blockquote data-quote="der_kluge" data-source="post: 2060522" data-attributes="member: 945">My parents went through a similar situation, except reversed.  Let me explain. My Grandma died, leaving my grandfather (these are both on my Mom's side) alone, with no one to take care of him.  My parents moved him into their house.  They completely "handicap-ized" (to coin a term) their old bedroom and gave it to him.  My parent's house is large, so space wasn't an issue.  They cleaned him, changed his diapers (nice, huh?) fed him, the whole nine yards. Meanwhile, my aunt who lived nearby basically did nothing, but wanted her share of the inheritance money, even before the man kicked the bucket!  Not only that, but my Mom's neices (from her deceased brother) also wanted their inheritance money, and were always pestering my Mom saying that since my Dad had power of attorney over my Grandad's estate, that they were going to rob them of their inheritance.  Despite the fact that they didn't really give a crap about the man, and the only reason they ever even said hi to these people was just to ensure that they were still in the will.So, I guess the bottom line is that some people only think about themselves, and don't give a crap about others.  If you have concerns, I would suggest you talk to your grandma about them, and ask her point blank what she intends to do in her will, and tell her that you'd rather see her donate it to charity versus giving any to your aunt and uncle.  Who knows, she might be eternally grateful for the time she spent living with her aunt and uncle. She might have a different perspective.</blockquote>
