Seeking Advice: Navigating Family Estate Issues and Personal Challenges

Dear Society Members,

I hope this message finds you well. My name is Ruby, and I am currently facing a challenging situation that I believe many of you might have encountered in some form. I am seeking your advice and perspective on how to navigate this complex family issue.

Recently, my mother made a decision to renounce her inheritance, choosing instead to pass it on to my Aunt Wiesława. While I understand that it is her right to make such decisions, the implications of this choice have been quite difficult for me to process, especially considering my current living and family situation.

I live with my mother-in-law, which has its own set of challenges, and I also have a younger brother, Mark, who is still dependent on family support. It seems that my mother’s decision was made without considering how it might affect us, her children, or the dynamics of our broader family responsibilities.

I am reaching out to this community because I feel somewhat lost in terms of how to deal with the emotional and practical aspects of this situation. How should I approach my mother to discuss this issue? What can I do to ensure that the needs of my younger brother Mark and my own family are not overlooked? Are there legal or ethical considerations I should be aware of when discussing the renouncement of inheritance within the family?

Any advice, personal stories, or resources you could share would be greatly appreciated. I believe that hearing from others who have faced similar situations can provide not only comfort but also practical solutions.

Thank you for taking the time to read my letter. I look forward to your responses and am hopeful for your support and guidance.

Warm regards,

Ruby
