35-year-old brother demands half of his sister's inheritance after learning he was removed from his parents' will due to cutting ties 10 years ago: '[I'm] not splitting the inheritance'

This entitled guy tried to guilt his sister into going against her parents' wishes.

There are several common phenomena that tend to stir up conflict among family members without fail. Holiday planning, different ways of parenting, and sharing limited space are just a few. However, it's safe to say that inheritance inevitably can unearth hard feelings of guilt, resentment, and envy.

Ideally, parents can anticipate the sibling rivalry that can result from arguing over the contents of a will. If they're decent folks, they will make things as clearly 50/50 as possible. However, there are always going to be valid exceptions to the equitable division of assets.

In this instance, this author's brother alienated himself from his entire family over a decade ago. His fractures relationship with his parents remained beyond repair long after they were gone. It should have come as no surprise to him that he wasn't left much in the will given that they hardly spoke over the course of the last 10 years.

Yet somehow, this brother still felt like his sister did not deserve to walk away with her total portion of the inheritance. Keep scrolling below for the fallout of his actions!

It turns out that the brother owed his parents large sums of money over the years and that this was one of the primary reasons behind their falling out. To that end, why should his sister have to give up what was rightfully hers just because her brother made his own bed and now needed to lie in it?
"[Am I wrong] for not splitting my inheritance with my brother after our parents left him out of the will?"
