He was still single when he passed away at 42 (almost 15 years ago- sheesh) and bequeathed all his adopted nieces and nephews (3 in our family, 4 in another) $1000. I still remember that to this day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-inheritance/page/2#post-544402 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 14:10:23 +0000 Meridian 544402@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't like to think about it, but I believe I would have a sizeable something from my parents... they have multiple investment properties, stocks and other investments, and are quite comfortable. Nothing from DH's side. Not something I want to deal with for a looong time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-inheritance/page/2#post-544390 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 14:07:32 +0000 yellowbird 544390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I inherited a bit from my mom/grandpa. </p> <p>Not much but it helps. I don't think DH will. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-inheritance/page/2#post-544298 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 13:38:00 +0000 .twist. 544298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I will inherit some property in british columbia. I think about 3/4 of an acre. </p> <p>I will probably also have a small sum of money as well. </p> <p>I do have a brother and I know my parents are going to leave him something but I don't know what. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-inheritance/page/2#post-544267 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 13:29:25 +0000 Pepper 544267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! And I don't think DH does either, at least not that we know of. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-inheritance/page/2#post-544186 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 13:02:05 +0000 MrsTiz 544186@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We'll inherit the company DH &amp; I work for from my parents, a paid off house here &amp; a paid off house at the beach, some land, cars and money from my parents. We'll get some furniture and debt from DH's side. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-inheritance/page/2#post-544170 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 12:55:12 +0000 theotherstark 544170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is it weird that I have not even thought about this?? I imagine my sister and I will just split whatever my mom and dad/step-mom leave behind, but that won't be for a while (hopefully!!). I feel like my parents have already done so much for me, I would prefer that they just spend their money now on things they love doing :) </p> <p>No idea about DH but, again, I imagine it would be a very long ways into the future. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-inheritance/page/2#post-544063 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 12:05:57 +0000 keiki_mama 544063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That'd be a big fat no. My parents are not well off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-inheritance/page/2#post-543999 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 11:49:18 +0000 yoursilverlining 543999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not an inheritance like a trust fund or anything. My aunt and uncle told all of us nieces and nephews that we’re all included in their will, and my husband is an only child so when my MIL passes he/we will inherit some very valuable land and a lot of assets. But, it’s nothing I count on receiving as you never know what someone’s financial future will hold. In particular, you never know what retirement homes and nursing homes will cost; they can decimate even substantial amounts of investments. </p> <p>I’ll inherit some beautiful jewelry, art and antiques from my parents. I imagine the proceeds of their home will cover the estate’s debts, but again, I don’t count on receiving any money. And that’s ok! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-inheritance/page/2#post-543975 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 11:39:12 +0000 MsLipGloss 543975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, including several hundred acres of property. But I don't know how much--I don't want to--and I don't expect it. I feel like my parents worked their entire lives for it, and it is *theirs* . . . I would have no issues if they spent it all and sold the land! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-inheritance/page/2#post-543894 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 11:12:11 +0000 MrsKoala 543894@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH will but I will not. I'll probably inherit debt... yay.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-inheritance/page/2#post-543773 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 10:27:27 +0000 KissMeCait 543773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. My grandmother recently passed so I inherited quite a bit from her. When my parents go, I'm an only child so I'll get everything that they have (a paid off house, some investments, few other assets). I don't like to think about it though. </p> <p>This has actually been a popular topic of conversation in my family lately. My mom is having a really difficult time dealing with my aunt and her greediness as far as my grandmothers will is concerned. It'll suck having to deal with my parents death on my own (or at least, without any siblings) but not having to go through what my mom is dealing with right now will be nice. It makes a loved ones death so much more difficult when the heirs can't get along. </p> <p>As for my husband, he's supposed to inherit a great deal of money when his grandmother dies (his grandfather made sure of that before he passed). That'll set us up real nice if it actually happens. I don't think we'll see much from his parents. He has 3 brothers and I don't think they really have a retirement. I just hope we don't get stuck with their debt. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-inheritance/page/2#post-543772 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 10:27:18 +0000 LindsayInNY 543772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Modern Daisy - You personally don't but usually the estate of the person who died has to pay it off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-inheritance/page/2#post-543738 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 10:21:16 +0000 littlek 543738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, but I don't like to think about it because it means my parents have passed away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-inheritance/page/2#post-543674 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 10:08:42 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 543674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I guess whatever my mom leaves behind, but that's not something I want to think about or to ever have happen! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-inheritance/page/2#post-543664 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 10:06:24 +0000 Pink Champagne 543664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@StbHisMrs: that's so crazy! I mean, I'm sure there's stuff you'd want to keep, but saying you have to keep stuff? I mean, my grandma has a ton of antiques too, but hell if any of them would ever end up in my house...</p> <p>I am assuming I will get some sort of trust when my parents pass away, but I don't like to think about that. Their house is paid off, and they plan to sell their business in the next few years, so I assume there would be no debts to pay off (thankfully). </p> <p>And definitely check your loans, people! They do not magically disappear when you die! My roommate sadly passed away a few years ago, and her parents had to use her life insurance to pay for all her student loans from nursing school. It took everything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-inheritance/page/2#post-543641 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 10:02:31 +0000 lomom 543641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I guess? My parents live comfortably so there will probably be something passed on to us kids but not like a million bucks or anything crazy.</p> <p>I'm more of a sentimental kind of person anyway, my inheritance from my grandfather was his M&amp;M dispenser (I used to sit on his lap and eat M&amp;Ms out of the dispenser on his end table, such fond childhood memories!) and money for my wedding dress. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-inheritance/page/2#post-543638 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 10:01:40 +0000 ShootingStar 543638@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I probably will. My parents' goal is to live off of their pensions and leave their 401k money and houses to my brother and I. They also want to create college trust funds for any kids we might have. </p> <p>But I'm not exactly counting on having that money. And DH's parents both have decent jobs, but practically no retirement savings, so who knows what'll happen with that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-inheritance/page/2#post-543613 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 09:56:19 +0000 Mrs. Cat in the Cradle 543613@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Whatever my parents leave behind, but I don't like to think about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-inheritance/page/2#post-543600 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 09:54:29 +0000 GrapeCrush 543600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>not even close haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-inheritance/page/2#post-543578 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 09:50:12 +0000 Modern Daisy 543578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Can you inherit your parents debt?? I am so dumb when it comes to this stuff.</p> <p>Yes, we will both have an inheritance. Mine will be pretty hefty which is nice, but also very sad and stressful at the same time. It's already brought out a very ugly side of my two sisters and we aren't nearly as close as we used to be because of it. I've always been the favorite so they've started to preemptively distance themselves from me in preparation for my sum to be bigger than theirs - even though that's not going to be the case at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-inheritance/page/2#post-543567 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 09:47:04 +0000 ValentineMommy 543567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I inherited from my grandparents. It paid for college and my home's downpayment. It's all gone now, but thankfully, I have no student loans. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-inheritance#post-543511 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 09:33:51 +0000 MrsBrewer 543511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, Neither of our families are that well off. But that's okay. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-inheritance#post-543485 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 09:25:53 +0000 Alivoo01 543485@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@highwire: That's awesome, and I'm totally jealous! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-inheritance#post-541637 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 20:22:30 +0000 DillonLion 541637@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: Outside of Abilene.

Where at????</p> <p>I'm not sure. I know I'm the beneficiary on a lot of things, but not sure if there's an inheritance in there or not. Not sure what's going on on the hubby's side either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-inheritance#post-540914 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 18:14:16 +0000 StbHisMrs 540914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents keep bringing this up, I'm an only child. My Mom has all of Grandmother's antiques and other valuables and she told me that she'll be marking what I can sell and what I have to keep! They also have value in property that I'll be inheriting, luckily no debt. They plan on selling their vineyard and using the equity in a new home at the beach. </p> <p>My dh is now an only child, and his Dad has a lot of toys he'll most likely inherit. He does have a stepbrother but his Dad has openly told him he's not including him in his will... </p> <p>Then there's his Mother, looks like we'll be inheriting property all the way around. It's not a subject I like to think about, but is brought up often. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-inheritance#post-540864 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 17:58:06 +0000 meredithNYC 540864@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think I will be getting much from my parents, but that's okay with me. I would rather they enjoy their retirement instead of focusing on how much they will leave. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-inheritance#post-540858 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 17:57:03 +0000 FancyGem 540858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@zippylef: citi sucks!

DH's grandmother chose to pay the car off and keep it. </p> <p>And if anyone was curious, it was Citi that was so awful about the mortgage. I have no problem blasting them a little after how they dealt with us. </p>
