    It's a wonder anyone asks for opinions/advice with the sanctimonious folk on here basing their views on massive assumptions.

    They always do. As soon as anyone asks about inheritance they all crawl out of the woodwork thinking the worst of the person asking.

    There is another recent thread where someone is concerned about their parents' financial attitude and the same people have already started asking if the OP is more worried about themselves.

    Just ignore them. They are all bitter and twisted and can't give people the benefit of the doubt. You should feel sorry for them.

    You wondered if you were entitled to your mum's inheritance.

    People said no.

    I'm not sanctimonious by the way

    All bitter and twisted? I don't think that's the case.

    OK. What assumptions have people made?

    My relationship with my Mother.
    Mother's financial situation.
    Mother going into a care home.
    My entire personality just because part of me would like a share of £128,000 that someone didn't need. (She told my that by accident last week btw. I did not ask).

    The money wasn't willed to you

    That's the bottom line
  • I think your perspective is really weird - it's your mum's inheritance and you don't have a right to any of it, or any details regarding the house sale etc. I'm not sure why you think you do either.

    Are you hurt she hasn't been open, or jealous of her financial position, or what? I'm confused.

    I clearly didn't mean everyone.

    There are other times when I feel that it is her legal entitlement and I should stop being so selfish.
    That's what you yourself wrote in your first post. Most agreed with it.

    A conversation sort of related to this situation- not started by me - which I will not be sharing.

    Is there a rule against it or summat?
