I love my parents, and yes I would pay burial costs. My parents are old and have old time thinking. I was born here, married with MY choice of partner and two small children. My partner is NOT related to my family and is an excellent partner and good to me.

Thanks

Reading between the lines here, is your choice of partner the reason your family have dis-owned you (and disinherited you)?? I assume when you say your partner is not related to your family, I assume you mean culturally, not literally (as that is pretty normal!!)

For what it's worth, at least you know where you stand. It could be worse, you could bend over backwards for your family and THEN find out later that they'd disinherited you...that would sting more!!

You have your own loving family with your partner and children. Money can't buy what you have. Your vindictive parents have put their prejudice above what love they had for you and your future happiness so let them get on with it. They are the losers, not you.

They might mean literally, i’ve known families where the kids were expected to marry 1st or 2nd cousins in order to bring them over to the UK.

If OP married for love, it might not have gone down well.

Totally the right thing to do though OP, well done on standing up for yourself and living your own life, just keep doing that you don’t need an inheritance.
