This is what one woman got in hot water for after she stated that she did not want to be a part of her dad and stepmom's joint will. A recent update to the document stated that she would share an inheritance of two houses and land with her three stepsisters, which she didn't want as she did not get along well with them and was also due to inherit a house from her husband's parents.
When she told her father this, he protested at her not wanting a part of the family history, but she insisted that she was not close with that side of her family and would not be keeping in contact with them when he was gone. She was on speakerphone, so her stepmom heard this. When this reached her stepsisters, they got upset, and she wondered if she had taken things too far.

'My dad asked me why I didn't want part of my family's history': family flips out when 27-year-old refuses to share future inheritance with 3 stepsisters, insists they aren't 'real family'
Inheritance often ends up being a tricky topic to navigate between family members. It is not uncommon for people to start acting entitled and making audacious claims on money or property that others thought were guaranteed to be theirs, for example. Usually, arguments arise because of what individuals believe they are owed, and it can get ugly pretty quickly. Often, it isn't just about the inheritance but the relationships and hang-ups behind it.
However, dividing up somebody's last will and testament isn't always a case of kids and other relatives fighting over who gets what. It might be more uncommon, but some want nothing more than to opt out of being entangled with family affairs in the form of whatever hand-me-downs the older generation wants to give them. As anybody who has dealt with such things will know, it isn't always as easy as being handed what you were bequeathed and walking away.
