She and her sisters have done the opposite of turning away from their father’s widow and have actually been helping her with everything.
They’ve helped her figure out how to set up her inheritance and make sure she’ll be alright. Her dad’s widow received a good amount of security after his passing and has plenty to live out her days comfortably. However, everyone was thrown for a loop when her dad’s widow said she wanted to buy out her share of their childhood home.
She and her sisters were getting ready to scrape together the money she would make if they sold the house and split the profits. Then, they made an interesting discovery.
“We were going to cave and pay her that much when the estate attorney found a deed filed when my mother was still alive, leaving the house solely to us,” she explained.
“Every lawyer we’ve consulted with says that the deed trumps the will by the letter of the law and that his widow is facing an uphill battle if she contests it.”
Now, she’s wondering if she and her sisters would be terrible people if they decided not to pay their dad’s widow her share of the house. While her sisters have no problems with not paying, she feels guilty. While her dad’s widow is set for life with everything else she received, it is a good chunk of money she’d be missing out on. Plus, she’s never done anything bad to her and her sisters.
Should she and her sisters feel obligated to pay their dad’s widow, or should they keep the money?
