Help! Family Drama Over Inheritance – Need Advice!
Hey everyone,
I really need some advice. So, here’s the deal: I got a message from my mom saying, “Przygotuj się. Mama i brat przyjeżdżają w sprawie podziału majątku,” which means “Get ready. Mom and brother are coming over to discuss the division of assets.” To make things worse, my brother Gregory thinks I’ve wronged him and that I have no conscience.
A bit of background: Our dad passed away recently, and now we have to figure out how to divide his estate. It’s been super stressful, and emotions are running high. Gregory feels like he’s been shortchanged, but I honestly don’t think I’ve done anything wrong. My mom, Eva, is trying to mediate, but it’s not going well.
I don’t want this to turn into a huge family feud. I love my brother, but he’s being really stubborn and accusatory. My sister Victoria is staying out of it, and my best friend Ellie says I should just try to stay calm and listen to what Gregory has to say. But it’s hard when he’s so angry.
Has anyone been through something similar? How did you handle it? Should I get a lawyer involved, or would that just make things worse? Any tips on how to keep the peace and come to a fair agreement would be super helpful.
Thanks in advance!
