Re: The gripe thread

My parents recently updated their wills, after not having done so for about 20 years. My mum had previously told me (multiple times over the course of about a year) that she was going to leave me the small rental property she owns - which would be awesome, because the housing market where I live is absolute shit and I have no chance of being able to afford a house at any point in the next decade.
Well they got back from the lawyers, didn't say anything to me, but my dad called my elder brother and told him what changes they'd made - including leaving my brother the rental property.
If they'd just told me, I'd be a little sad, but I'd get over it. But they didn't! I only know because I was in the next room when dad called my brother, and my hearing is pretty good!

It's both hurtful to me that they didn't just tell me that they'd changed their minds, and irritating that they haven't considered the trouble this would cause between me and my brother if my parents died and I hadn't heard that phone call - finding out at the reading of the will that the *entire house* you thought you were going to get is going to someone else? That's the sort of thing that causes multi-generational feuds! Come on!

Wow, that's... kind of cold. Personally I don't think it's a good idea to make promises to people about your will in the first place but to do it and then NOT fufill them and also NOT tell that person... shitty. I don't know what your parents are like other than this incident or how good your relationship with them is, but it might be worth it to address the issue with them. I wouldn't mention that you were hoping for this bequest for such-and-such reasons, though. More in a "could you give [brother] and me a heads up about your will and any wishes you might have for funeral planning so we aren't caught by surprise" approach.
