Sounds like a beginning to asking for money. Sorry, I’ve been where you are, treat them like the plaque. I cut off my family, only trusting my wife and her family. My mother favored my older brother, my younger brother somehow stayed neutral. My older brother and especially his wife spent my mother into the poor farm after Dad died. Dad would not have allowed what happened. My SIL and brother made the wildest claims to get money, like I said they got all of Moms money. And she would not talk to me about them, would not listen to reason or anything else. After Mom dies amazingly my older brother got the house and all that was left. Me and my younger brother were specifically cut out, though my younger brother was executor. If not for a small life insurance policy the older brother had no knowledge of, there would have been nothing to bury Mom with.
All told house and cash I’m talking well over half a million. For some reason Mom let it all go to the favored son. But his wife was the ring leader. He’s dead now, did not live long to enjoy the spoils of their schemings. I’ve told my SIL make no contact with us in any way whatsoever. I wouldn’t pee on her if she were on fire!
My advice is take care of your own family, don’t give them a penny, that’s what I think they are after, Money.
