Sister demands $30k from late father’s will to pay for dream wedding, caretaker sibling who inherited the money says no: 'If he wanted to fund my sister's wedding, he would've set aside money for that'

Sometimes, inheritance has a way of stirring up more drama than it's worth. One woman shared how her father's will left her enough money to pay off her student loans and start saving for a home, a deliberate choice, since she was the one who moved back to care for him during his final years. Her sister, who lived out of state and rarely helped, inherited jewelry and a beloved restored car. On paper, it was a fair distribution. In practice, not everyone was on the same side.

Now that the sister is engaged and planning a wedding well outside her budget, she asked for $30,000 from that inheritance, claiming "Dad would've wanted it." When the caretaker sibling said no, the family turned on her. Their mom accused her of tearing the family apart, cousins weighed in with guilt trips, and the bride-to-be threatened not to invite her to the wedding at all.
