  • Aita for not paying for my mom's funeral when she left my brother her house?
  • My mom d d unexpectedly. She was the type that didn't really have any assets, except for her home. My brother was also her favorite, she was a real "boy mom" so even
  • with no will, she made sure to TOD her house to our brother and didn't want the daughters to have anything. Since she had no life insurance seems to me he should
  • sell the house and pay for her funeral. It's a small house he has no desire to live in. I haven't signed any contracts with the funeral home so I won't be paying. AITAH?
  • CharliAP NTA, the golden child can pay for the funeral.
  • parodytx NTA. Brother can take care of it selling the house is a - great suggestion. If he tries to come up with a
  • "let's split it" arrangement, just say "Sorry, that doesn't work for me. Since mom left you everything, you can afford to pay for her funeral."
  • MaxTheCookie ⚫ The coat for the funeral and other associated cost should be on the estate.
  • maroongrad • NTAH. Not your responsibility. She left assets to one person. Unless you are rich and he's poor due to bad luck but has been a great brother? It's not
  • your responsibility. He can take out a mortgage for $10K or so and use it to handle the costs. It's not your responsibility and your mother made that very, very clear in her dispersal of assets.
  • Laquila If she didn't plan for her funeral, with life insurance or some other arrangement, then she doesn't get a funeral. Unless someone willingly pays for it. Funerals are seriously
  • expensive, so nobody should be dumped with having to pay for one, or guilted into paying for it. They always say that funerals are for the living. Sure
  • fine, but it still doesn't need to cost 5 figures and bankrupt the living. That sounds like a quote the funeral industry came up with. Your brother shouldn't have to sell a house to pay for a funeral either.
