Seeking Advice: How to Approach My Grandmother About Inheriting Her Apartment

Hi everyone,

I hope you’re all doing well. I find myself in a bit of a dilemma and could really use some advice from those who might have faced a similar situation or have some wisdom to share.

For over 12 years, I have been visiting my grandmother, Cora, every single day. I help her with various household chores, run errands, and provide her with companionship. Our bond is incredibly strong, and I cherish the time we spend together.

Recently, I’ve been thinking about the future and the fact that my grandmother’s apartment holds a lot of sentimental value for me. I would love to continue living there and maintaining it after she is no longer able to. However, I’m unsure how to bring up the topic of her possibly transferring the ownership of the apartment to me.

I don’t want to come across as greedy or insensitive, especially considering how much she means to me. I genuinely want to ensure that her wishes are respected and that she feels comfortable with any decisions made.

Has anyone been in a similar situation? How did you approach the conversation? What should I keep in mind to ensure that the discussion is respectful and considerate of her feelings?

Thank you in advance for your advice and support.

Best,

Ela
