Late grandfather names 21-year-old granddaughter ‘sole heir’ of all of his assets, her 29-year-old estranged brother insists he is entitled to half of the inheritance: ‘[He] moved out at 18 and basically vanished’

Losing a loved one you spent your childhood with isn't an easy experience to go through. This is especially true when you feel like they were the only trusted person truly there for you, and you, them. Companionship in any form is better than none at all, but there's something special about a bond between a grandkid who needs a mentor and a grandparent who simply wants to show them there is better in this tumultuous world.

If you were raised by a grandparent, for the most part, you know exactly what I mean. Trips to Grandma's were no longer about stealing her pillow mints and eating her freshly-baked pie; you sought solace from the only person who hadn't let you down yet. When they grow older, you can only hope you will provide them as much solace as they gave you when you were young and needed it so desperately. In this next story, a loving granddaughter unknowingly reaps the reward for having been her late grandfather's sole caretaker, and her estranged brother is not happy with how the inheritance was split. Scroll to read.

In this case, the estranged brother receives nothing from his grandfather's will. According to the granddaughter who wrote this story, her brother got up and left once he turned 18. He decided family just wasn't for him. In this complete detachment, why would he expect anything at all? Many people all over the world believe that DNA is the end-all be-all… This story is proof that most of the time, you actually have to show up for family members if you want them to do things for you, too.
