    Font - 14 O 4 S 15 Half brothers threaten to sue me over 16k. It costs them 158k and possibly their parents' marriage. When I (25f) was 3, my grandparents passed away. They set up a savings account in my name. The account was meant to be accessed by me when I was 21. At that point it contained just over 300k.

    Font - So it looks like my grandparents, knowing about Chris before they passed, set up 2 funds. One for the kids dad had with my mother, who was still his wife when they passed, and one for children born out of dad's affairs, presumably to make sure no one tried to screw anyone else over out of hurt feelings. I'm getting a lot of The boys have realised that I won't back down on this and it sounds like l've caused a schism at their house, as Joe has all the money and no intention of sharing so M
