EldritchEddyMy Brother Wants Dad’s Inheritance—For His Dream House?! 😡🏠
Picture this: my brother and his wife, who barely work, suddenly want a big chunk of Dad’s inheritance (from Grandma, no less!) to buy their first home. Their plan? Use Dad’s money now, promise to pay me my share later—after Dad passes and they refinance. Meanwhile, my wife and I work our tails off, pay extra on our mortgage, and save for our kids’ future. My brother claims he’s busy with his kid (who’s in school all day!), but somehow he’s got time to manage Dad’s accounts since Dad’s in a nursing home. I want to trust him, but this whole scheme feels shaky and unfair. Am I crazy for feeling angry and worried? What would you do if you were in my shoes? Help me out here! 😤🤯 #FamilyFinance #InheritanceDrama #SiblingConflict #MoneyMatters #RomanticRelationships

As the power of attorney over your dad's finances, your brother has a fiduciary duty via the courts to protect that money. Seek out an attorney who specializes in elder law. Your brother's plan is approaching elder abuse territory.

He's trying to financially exploit your grandmother and dad.
I would contact an attorney before he makes a move.

get an attorney now, you need to check over your dad’s account and then get everything in writing. The money could be used right now for things he needs and you not know it. that’s why i’m glad there’s no inheritance for me or my siblings

if I was your dad I'd be giving it away to somebody else. and just because you're the kids don't mean you're entitled to his money.
