Inheritance + Life Questions

[76561199799672280]

UPDATE: I just found out that my Grandfather's Will/Trust has hundreds of millions of dollars and that my uncles will be receiving it, my mother would have received none and my side of the family gets nothing under her either. Not Really Surprised.

I'll keep the below post unedited.

___

The quick and nonsentimental TLDR is: My Grandfather died and definitely has a will with a substantially large amount of money in it. He would be giving it to his children for sure which would include my mother. My mother is dead. Would I possibly be able to receive whatever fictionalized portion that would have been hers since she is also deceased?

My brother is also missing and probably dead (my mother told me this long ago but it might not be true)

I live in my car so technically homeless. I have about $1000. I work sometimes but probably not enough. I was never really given any money as a gift or anything to help me out by my family through these years.

Even when living in my car and not working I feel burnt out every single day like there is no purpose. When I do work I don't make enough to do anything and I hate every second of the work paying me $12 an hour usually. It wouldn't be so hard if the people were anywhere near bearable.

I was contacted by my grandfather when my mother died. I was also contacted by a relative when my grandfather died recently.... And years ago my mother told me my brother was killed but this may be wrong as she had a mental issue.

I was told by this relative that a lawyer would be calling me. I was thinking this might mean that I would get a portion of inheritance even though my grandfather at some point said he was disowning me because I guess he was mad at me at that time... Actually nobody from their family talks to me and I was only contacted from a private number so I can't call back to ask.

In addition this lawyer might not have my correct phone number or email because it's changed since I was in communication with my grandfather. My other relative has my updated number but the lawyer may have my wrong number from my grandfather's records.

Do you think I will get a portion?

What should I do if I never get a call?

I am absolutely sure that IF my grandfather was to leave me money if it WAS fractioned out evenly that it would change my life entirely and I would take steps to make sure that my actions would make him - and my mother and brother - proud.

I am not an attorney.

Inheritance Laws are particular to your country. In the US, they can also differ between States.

You would not be eligible unless he designed it as "his or his legal heirs." If he left it just to her, then you probably wouldn't be eligible. (An attorney in the US would probably insist upon such distinctions if he used one to help write the Will)

My brother is also missing and probably dead (my mother told me this long ago but it might not be true)

In the US, unless there's a Death Certificate, usually requiring a dead body to start with, getting someone declared legally dead is kind of difficult... Don't take someone's word for it. (I would be surprised if you couldn't find records of a brother's birth and/or death in your country.)

...Do you think I will get a portion?

Unanswerable.

What should I do if I never get a call?

Contact the County of the State (US) in which he resided (or died in) in order to locate an attorney of record and/or to get a copy of a filed Will.

Usually they will follow whatever the will says, however will can be challenged. Odds are the assets will go to probate court, the government will settle his debts, and take a portion to pay themselves for the service. Whatever is left after this process would be given to the heirs, property could be sold or one of the heirs can buy it off of the others.

In the end it is better to contact one of you close relatives and see what is going on, and take it from there.

ofcourse the law differs per nation..

but in my nation :

without a testament.. inheritance get split equally over all children without testament.
with a testament.. children always have a right at at least 5%

if one of both parents dies.. this applies.. meaning that halve of what the couple owns is now property of the children. and will split accourdingly (so halve equal under all kids.. or halve with a minimum of 2.5% per kid with testament..)

-> however the surviving parent does keep "usuage right" of any non sellable goods.
-usuage right is NOT ownership.. they may not sell property aka art, the house and such.. they may use.,. but if they cannot sell without the children who are half owner now.. permission.
and must upon selling hand they their halve of the proceeds.

if this surviving parents remarries..in full financial union... than this halve is also kept out of the new union..
so say your mother dies.. your dad remarries... than your dad dies..
**
this stephmom has NO right of usage.. any property that was used by the dad may be auctioned of or ceized by the children.
as married spouse the stemphmom is entitled to halve of what dad owned.. which was only halve.. so upon selling that house the children get 75% and the stemphmom 25%


now grandchildren by default get NOTHING.. (ofcourse you can put them in your testament.. than they do.. as long as you give your own children their lawfull percentage.. the rest with a will is yours to give to whoemsoever you want ..(

but your case is different..your parent(s) died before your grandparent.
well in our law.. than upto 6 generation away (so even if it was your great=great-great-great-grandparent.. with all ancestors in between dead.. you still inherit)

so what will happen is :

your deciesed mom as the child of your grandfather will get her share.. as per the law.
**if her husband, being your dad is still alive.. than he gets half of that share.. and the other halve will be split amoungst you and your brothers and siblings.

so if grandfather had 5 kids and so had your mom..
than you get 1/5th of 1/2 of 1/5th.. = 2% of your grandfathers estate

if your dad is dead too.. and she never remarried.. than it's simple... 1/5th of 1/5th 4% for you without a will or 5% of 5% (0.2%) minimum if there is a will.

===========================================
in the very difficult situation your mom was married more than once before she died...
than :
-only her latest husband get half the inheritance. if he is dead.. than only HIS kids get their share of this half non of the kids of the earlier marriages... if he has no kids.. it will pass to his other kin..

on top of this all kids get their share..

so if you mom had 2 kids.. your dad died.. than she remarried and got 1 more kid.. than she died.. ..and than stepdad died.. and finally your grandpa..

and your grandpa had 5 kids..
she gets 20%, of which 10% passes to her last husband.. wo passes it to their 1 kid.
the other 10% is split equally over all of her kids..

so you and your brother than each get 3.33% of grandfatthers estate
while that younger stephbrother get 13.33%


==================================

so most likely yes you will get something OP
the law don't allow parents to fully cut off their kids.. minimum 5%.. so even if your grandpa and mother both had a will minimising you to just that 5%,.. and even if grandmother and your father are still alive...
you still recieve something..

He never helped out my family when alive and never when dead. My uncles are rich, my mom was poor... Guess he felt they would have a hard time paying for their million dollar houses so he had to only let them have his money huh?

Dang... Tough luck.

Shoulda formed a closer relationship with your grandfather, OP. Too late now, though.

Get a job and don't rely on dead people to pay your way.

15 hours per week is not a job, thats a hobby. If you are happy living in your car, why even make this post?

People who think they are entitled to free rides in life is amusing.

I'm not really happy but I'm not content as I would like to be. I can still live life and do things normally without becoming carless which is a whole nother level......

... I could make more money and get an apartment and then come out even money wise at the end of the month...

... Either way I'd never retire or really get anywhere. I'd just be working more hours at that point,

The better question is homeless have steam?
