Even your wife of 55 years can cuck you, anons. Do not trust women.
Grandpa recently had open heart surgery
damn dude, thats fucked up
oirginalaly
Bruh that money should go to his wife, she now has no assistance, its all she has to live on. Your dad can presumably work and earn his money.
If he cared enough he wouldve put it in his will
What makes you think youre dad wasnt going to pay for your grandma anyways
She also got his retirement salary and she lives alone.
He didn't want to write a will as he was sure he was going to get OK (and he was going to, if it were not for that bitch).
Dad and uncle doesn't talk to her anymore BTW.
Women are vile creatures, are they even human or did they get replaced with alien lookalikes at some point during history?
Yea, if he didn't write that money into his will then its actually a smart move to put it in grandmas account a day before the surgery in case he died on the operating table.
if he didnt write a will all that shit wouldve gone to her anyway if they were legally married
Your elderly widowed wife should definitely be your prime concern if you die. I dont know why you think this is controversial. Possibly she did some underhanded things to get the money, but are you considering maybe you/your dad were possibly showing intentions of taking the money (which of course she has default right to)? This sort of familial division is a result of an unclear will, which was your grandpas fault.
Shit the bitch is in her 70s, she needs everything she can get
I just realized I haven't mentioned this but she did him without his consent.
she did this without his consent*
doesnt matter if she moved the cash, if she has access to the account its a given that he trusted her enough to do so. legally she didnt do anything wrong
still a dick move, that was his 20 years of retirement money and she was also getting half of his money anyway every month (as she didn't work any point in her life) for food, bills etc.
Youre not listening, the fact that she has all his money is GOOD. She is his widow, she should have all his money, unless there was a will that states otherwise.
She probably avoided a lot of hassle with getting your grandpas shit stuck in municipal courts for months since he didnt have will.
I'm not worrying about the money user, I'm mad about her not telling anyone and even denying that the money exists (which I realized again that I haven't mentioned, sorry anons.).
hows it a dick move if it was her money to begin with now? also it just sounds like youre adding shit out of nowhere just to make her look bad at this point.
>"also it just sounds like youre adding shit out of nowhere just to make her look bad at this point."
Yeah, I know it sounds like this now. Really sorry, just haven't been over it yet.
>"hows it a dick move if it was her money to begin with now? "
Before the death?
>doesnt matter if she moved the cash, if she has access to the account its a given that he trusted her enough to do so
I'm quite heated after reading this.
> having a wife in the current year
Yeah, you're right there. His grandpa did a bad thing granting permission to HIS WIFE OF 55 YEARS
o7 OP
Okay yea she probably did some shit that wasnt great ethically, but look at it from her perspective.
(Some of this is speculation obviously)
She married this man for 55 years
She has no source of income other than soc security
He has no will, meaning I am guaranteed to have to fight over this money, both with the state and my children (who have no right or need for this money)
This is life or death money for her, and totally hers legally and morally, so she just acted instead of putting herself at risk of someone taking it. Honestly it was the responsible thing to do, avoiding a lot of legal and family drama
I think OP is right and she created more drama by trying to reduce drama.
Still should've asked the family, not like they were going to leave their mothers to starve.
>all these normies defending the woman for taking the mans shit
Fucking pathetic man.
Shit turns ugly in these situations, money affects people, and you can only trust yourself.
Imagine situations where the son says "we will keep the money for you" and then loses all his money and the bank comes for her money now.
It really is irresponsible to not have a will at 70 years old
Just wondering after reading this thread, how many of you anons actually have a will ready?
>my aunt died this morning
>turns out she had leukemia
>I didn't know this
>I didn't even like her
>We didn't speak since last year
>I'm not even sad, or maybe am I?
It was going to go to her anyway you dingus. The grandfather didnt write a will, so it defaults to his spouse. OP and his father/uncle basically burned bridges over petty matters.
