should i help my elderly lonely neighbour out just so he can give me some inheritance?

Question

he is 82 single, no children, 1 sister and 2 nephews. i am under 30's and working full time. I'm the only one takes him to day trips and hopital

Answer 1

I had a bit of similar experience 3 years ago. I ended up with everything from that person. She was 87 when she passed away. I got her house, a one year old buick lesabre, a 2 year old chevy pickup 4x4, all her personal belongings and those of her husband who died the previous year.

12 acres of ground in South Lake Tahoe, Ca. and Last but not least $124,000 in her bank accounts.

She had 4 nephews that had never seen her in more than 30 years, and they only lived within 10 miles of her. They tried to fight me in court but court wouldn't stand for it, and awarded me everything in the will.

Of course i was smart, i sat her down and asked her to give me an advanced directive and appoint me as person to make medical decisions if she were incapacitated due to illness, then, i suggested she make a will. She thought that was a good idea, and she listed me as the sole heir to her estate as she didn't even know her nephew's.

Do the advanced directive and do a will and have the will done legally and make sure it's notarized and on file with the county.
then you'll more than likely get something from this person when they pass away.

Answer 2

Helping a neighbor just to get his inheritance is just rude....I help out my neighbors all the time without expecting anything...and sometimes they will give me something just to show appreciation...I do it because it is the right thing to do, and I would hope that someone would help me if I needed it when I get old...I am a single parent and I cannot make ends meet and I am 39... Age and what you work had no relevance.

Answer 3

You help someone like that because it's the right thing to do and your a good person. What goes around comes around, do good and expect nothing and good things will happen for you anyway. To do things things with the expectation of money is the completely wrong way to do it, and if money is all your after, just charge him upfront for your time. Being "nice" to someone for inheritance is incredibly deceitful, and a slap in the face to someone spending their last days on this earth. Just my opinion.

Answer 4

is that the only reason you would do it for inheritance.

did you know about his inheritance before you started to help him or after you started to help him?
my parents always told me this whenever you do something for someone ,or give someone something you shouldn't look to receive the same thing or anything at all,you will get it in blessings. i don't think you should help someone because you want inheritance ,what if he doesn't even see you in that way to give you inheritance. if you're doing something do it with a good heart and not because you're hoping to receive something. my answer is not to change your mind it is to show you the way life is. give you insight on life. son it is easy for you to do help knowing you're getting money than knowing you're doing it without getting money although it should be the other way around,but that's how life is. do it because you know it's the right thing to do.

good luck.

Answer 5

To help someone just for personal gain is tacky! If you want to profit from your efforts, get a job as an aide, but don't try to deceive an elderly person into thinking you care from them when your focus is really on what they might leave you. Some might even call you an opportunist.

Answer 6

do not do purely it for the inheritance.immediately this guy needs someone to envision with.purely you being there for him makes him chuffed.He ought to not be ready to educate it now and again because he should be in soreness or purely undeniable previous age.have self assurance me you're making a huge difference in his lonely existence.bear in ideas you ought to get there some day too.i'm hoping that someone will make an attempt out to have a tendency to you.issues in existence purely take position that way.Take care.

Answer 7

Do what you can to help him out. To make the world a better place. Don't expect any inheritance, just do it out of kindness. Then if you get a bequest, that is a bonus.

Answer 8

Tis better to give than recieve. Help him out because you want to and with a willing heart. His friendship may be payment enough.

Answer 9

Do so.I realise it is incredibly deceitful and immoral.But I dunno,do it.Don't deliberately cause his death or anything for god's sake,just help out because he is a person in need and it will make you a better person as well.And if u get sth out of it,it will be more that OK,.won't it???

Answer 10

Why not just help him out because you want to help him out instead of thinking what you might get out of it. You know everyone gets old eventually. ;o) even you.
