“It is incredibly common for siblings to argue over an inheritance after a parent passes away. Even for siblings who receive an equal share of a parent’s inheritance, it isn’t uncommon to see relationship-altering fights,” Katherine shared. “The most common disagreements I see between siblings are like OPs story, where siblings aren’t given equal shares of their inheritance.”
“Inheritance conflicts are often rooted in underlying feelings of favoritism, loyalty, betrayal, or unresolved family trauma”. The financial aspects of inheritance often sit atop deep, long-standing family dynamics and emotional memories that resurface after a parent’s passing,” the CEO shared. “Many disputes center around a perceived ‘fairness’ in the division of assets, whether that’s over money, property, or cherished personal items.
“The best thing you can do is try not to make the situation worse. In the post, OP throws the reason her brother didn’t inherit back in his face. I understand that she was also hurt by her treatment of their mom but, ultimately, she came out ahead in this situation. The best thing you can do to try and preserve sibling relationships is to adopt a neutral tone, acknowledge your sibling’s feelings, and remove yourself from the situation if it is too painful for you to listen to,” she explained.
“Acknowledging any pain they may feel can help the sibling feel seen and heard, even if they don’t necessarily agree with the outcome. The goal is to foster understanding and respect for the choices their parent made while gently holding boundaries,” he explained.But thankfully, the experts say there are several proactive ways parents can reduce the likelihood of inheritance conflicts while they’re still around.
