My grandfather was a widow at a young age, 30, He has two children from his first marriage. He later re-married after a few years to a widowed homemaker who had one child from her previous marriage. After a few years they had a child of their own. They both lived in central Italy.
Fast forward, my grandfather died at seventy years old and my step-grandmother lived another twenty five years, until eighty five years old. During their marriage they lived on my grandfathers income, which he earned handsomely working for the government of Italy. We all grew up together as one big close happy family, just like the Brady Bunch. shared birthdays, weddings, and parties together.
After my step-grandmothers death in 2015, my half-uncle and step-uncle never shared the contents of the will with us or not even let my mother see it. I know that when my step-grandmother was alive she said many times to many people including myself that all her children were equal to her. After all was said and done, my uncles gave my mother only 10% of the entire estate. My half-uncle took 50% and my step-uncle took 30%, my aunt took 10%, and my mother took 10%.
What's right in this situation? I know how I feel, a bit disappointed. My grandfather and step-grandmother died thinking we were all one big happy family... I want to get other peoples opinions on this. Thanks
