What do I think? It is a generalization. There are many factors involved, e.g. a woman may not want to work so she can be a full time mother to young children. As for the shiftless sponge the rest of your question describes, she sounds like me at the moment! (getting up at 12-2pm on career break) Ever hear the saying 'Use it or lose it' it is a basic truth about human beings. The body and mind are designed to work. If this is ignored for too long, symptoms will begin to appear, if those are ignored, eventually the system breaks down completely. Just like Winblows 98! If this woman is actually happy doing what she does, she will live a rewarding life. If may surprise you to find out she could be lonely, unfulfilled and increasingly bitter towards people as a result. Or I could flip the coin and ask if you like being a software engineer. If not, why not do something else? Obviously it goes without saying that it is a lot harder than just deciding to. Research and risk eventual reward can and should be involved. These are the hallmarks of a satisfying life in my opinion. But on the whole I agree with you. An adult that chooses to do nothing productive appears as immature as a child, regardless of their biological age.

Well, that is a hard question......I don't think your father should have disowned her because of his beliefs, but is there any other reason that maybe he would have left her out of the inheritance? I don't know what I would do I would have to actually be in that situation. I think maybe she is angry and taking it out on the wrong person. Just because your father did not agree with her marriage does not mean you share the same feelings. Good luck and sorry about your lose!!

I think what your dad did was wrong. I'm a mother & I can not imagine disowning my children, for ANY reason. I know there's a part of you that feels like keeping the money from your sister is maybe what he would have wanted, but must you really carry on the torch of racaism? Be the bigger person and share your inheritance with her, you'll be proud of yourself when all is said and done.

I am sorry for the problem in the family and I am sorry about the loss of your father.
The thing is that it your father is now gone and he does not know what is happening now. Give your sister a share of the inheritance.....if for any reason to keep peace.
I certainly don't think it makes you racist if you don't give her a portion but it makes you a good person to give it. If you do give it you need to make it very clear that what she said was unfair and that she owes you an apology.

You obviously have no legal obligation to share it with her, but you would think that as you are sisters you would be a little nicer.Your Father disowned her because he was racist.She must have been quite upset.Personally I think you could show a leeeetle support and sibling love.

the wish of a dead person should always be respected especially in inheritance issue. However there are some wishes which can not honored like, I will give you money if you divorce your current wife, (this is against the public policy). In your case, if your dad made his decision before her marriage he is allowed to do that he can say against Jews, white or black (Call him racist but you only can do the what he wanted you too).
Now if your sister is emotionally blackmailing you. It is solely your decision. You are not required to share with her by law but just to maintain the harmony if you want to that is up to you. You could give her your money but can't go against the wish of your father. You may jeopardize your share too. Consult a lawyer. If the goes a intestate may be she will get her share but under the will, she will not.

My sister and I have a very good relationship. I will share it with her 50/50.

I think you are. Why wouldn't you share the inheritance with your own sister? I see you'll be joining your dad in hell. Good luck with that.

She's right. Why would you carry out your father's racist wishes unless you were a racist?

If this sad story is even true, all I can say is it sounds like you are cut out of the same cloth as your father.
