can my brother have everything in my parents will when they die as he said he is too?

Question

he is older than me so have i got a say in it when the time comes

my parents are still alive

Answer 1

Your parents can do as they please, child.

Answer 2

Even if your parents left a will that says your brother inherits everything, you can still appeal against it. Age has nothing to do with it - it depends on how well you get/got on with your parents whether they would even think of leaving everything to one child and nothing to another!

You didn't say if your parents are still alive. If they are, try talking to them, if not, talk to another, older relative - aunt or uncle, grandparent or someone who would know, and would help you sort this out. It sounds to me like he's a bit mean and likes winding you up though!

Answer 3

what the will says goes, what he decides to do with the inheritence is up to him (unless there is a specific use for something he gets; like money he has to split with the siblings when he feels they can handle the money or whatever). talk to your parents...their will is probably terribly out of date, and you might not have been in the picture when it was written.

it's sad...some people write their wills when they get married or when they first have a kid; then they never update it and their things go to whoever it said in the will (even if that person passed away). Sometimes these wills still read that the kids will go to Uncle Harry and Aunt Lacey, yet the "kids" are now adults with their own families.

Answer 4

Parents cannot make a will (at least not in the UK). They each have to make their own will and it is most common to leave everything to your spouse, if they are still alive. If not then your surviving parent can choose to leave everything to whosoever they choose.

If your parents have not made a will then after the second of them dies everything should be shared.

Answer 5

Only if they wrote it that way, if not the courts will split it down the middle after they take out att. fees, past due bills, but ask your parents, and if your over 13 in most states you can choose where you live, and get in all the good times with your parents, and take care.

Answer 6

Thats really your parents decision with whats being left with who. Usually after 18 years of age you have the responsibility for anything financial. But its up to your parents what goes down.

Answer 7

Only if your parents left everything to him in the will,but even if they did you could contest it through the courts,your brother is just trying it on,just make sure he doesn't use undue influence on them to leave everything to him.

Answer 8

It depends on what the will says. Usually a will stipulates who gets what. If it states that you each get whatever then it doesn't matter what your brother says. If it states that he gets everything you can always contest the will.

Good luck!

Answer 9

it is entirely up to what your parents wills say. if they do not actually leave one then everything is divided strigt down the middle between the two of you. neither of you actually has a say in it.

Answer 10

You need to talk to your parents about getting a will. The state can get it all if they do not get a will.

Answer 11

Why are you guys discussing what goes to who, when your dad and mom dies. What you fellas need to concentrate on is the fact that they are still here, and you neveer know you guys may leave here before they do.
