For one woman, this issue became a pressing one when her brother expected that she would give him half of the significant amount that she had inherited from their grandmother. He had already received a smaller amount of money from the grandmother's trust.
Taking into consideration that he did not have a good financial history and that she had had to engage in a legal battle to receive her money, the sister was not comfortable in immediate sharing. However, she did offer her unemployed brother a well-paid job with her company, as well as a fund he could use for special events.
Although he originally agreed to this offer, he then rejected it and stopped speaking to her. She wanted to know if she had done something wrong.

Am I wrong for not giving my brother half of my inheritance and instead offering him a job and long-term financial support?

'I did not feel comfortable handing him a lump sum of cash': 31-year-old demands sister give him half of $300k inheritance, rejects offer to work with her for $100k a year instead
Living in these times, where it feels increasingly difficult to achieve basic but costly life milestones like buying a house or starting a family, some people believe that their only hope for a modicum of financial stability is receiving some money when an older, richer relative passes away. Who inherits what within a family has always been an issue with the potential for drama, and it is only made more tense when there are people involved who feel like they really need the cash.
Ultimately, who gets what is down to the person who wrote the will. However, time and again it is proven that there are many individuals who have no issue in challenging that. The dilemma for the family members left in possession of some very attractive goods is whether they are willing to be generous or if they have a good reason to keep what they have been given to themselves.
