Dad moves 75-year-old girlfriend into house kids are due to inherit, 43-year-old daughter plans to remove her after his passing: 'He laid down a huge guilt trip'

Receiving an inheritance is one of the few upsides of going through the traumatic experience of losing a close relative, but it is not always an easy process. Even in the most straightforward of cases, there are all kinds of legal hoops to jump through just to have access to what was promised in the last will and testament.

Things only get more complex when more people than expected start getting involved in what surviving relatives believe is rightfully theirs. The battle of who gets what can become very ugly, very quickly, and occasionally, it even gets going before somebody passes.

It is not a pleasant thing to experience from any perspective, and it is easy for it to start to feel like a lost cause. It is advisable to get ahead in these matters where possible, but that also involves a lot of tact and sensitivity in many cases.

The youngest child of one man in his 70s became concerned about being able to inherit the house her father had promised her and her siblings after he moved in his similarly aged girlfriend, and she planned to sell her property. She was concerned about not being able to sell the house and having to care for the woman if her dad passed before she did.
As a result, she was considering an action plan wherein she would ask her to leave the property a few months after her dad's passing so she could move back closer to her own relatives. The daughter wanted to know if this was being harsh.
