Mother calls son cruel when he refuses to give inherited house to struggling brother, they debate about what their recently passed grandparents would have wanted: “Maybe they would have left you something if you had visited them once in a while”

Hey there internet folk. Some people grow up extremely close to her grandparents, and some just have no relationship with them. I have few and far between memories of my grandparents, but in general they were never a huge part of my life. At this point, they're all passed. People who grow up close to their grandparents can feel like they have a second set of parents. It's people who are there for you, who you can rely on, who may even give you financial support at tough times. You may even be in their will and get a house or expensive jewelry when they go.

Inheritance is how a lot of people get rich. But of course, you may have to be close to the person to be in the will. Some people will put their children and grandchildren no matter what, and some people would rather divvy up the money and assets in a way that makes sense based on how close they were to each other.

In the story below, the protagonist was afforded his grandparent's home in their will. He spent countless hours with them and really helped them in their old age. His brother didn't have the same relationship with them and wasn't given much in the will. Now it's all coming to a crossroads after they've already passed.

The story is a bit unclear to me. Does the protagonist live in the home, or just own it? I'm assuming he lives in it, which would mean that his family is asking him to relocate and get a new place. This is obviously surpassing boundaries. You can't just ask someone to move out, that's so much time and work.

What would you do? Would you give up a home that's rightfully given to you for your financially struggling brother? Would you keep it for yourself? I think if I were in this situation I would also not give up the home. His brother is a grown man, and if his parents are worried about him they can help him financially.
