It’s important for everyone to have a will, even if you’re young and healthy. You never know what’s going to happen in life, and it’s best to make sure all of your money and belonging go to the people you want them to go to.

What would you do if your grandmother wanted to change her will so that you would inherit her house? Would you be excited at the idea of inheriting a house, or would you be hesitant because you know your family would be jealous?

The woman in today’s story is in this situation, and she is hesitant to help her grandmother change her will.

Let’s read the whole story.

AITA if I allow my elderly grandmother to give me her house in her will?

My grandmother is 88 years old and I am 30.

Ive always had a close relationship with her, I lived with her for 2 years as a teenager when my parents threw me out.

When her health took a turn in 2020 during the pandemic, I subsequently lived with her helping her out for another 2 years (with shopping, laundry, making meals, getting to appointments).

Even though she moved away, she still visits her grandmother a lot.

For the 3 years since then, I have worked in a different city but I still come home to my hometown 2/3 days per week, where I usually stay with her and carry out the same tasks as before whenever possible.

In the last few months, she has started telling me she wants to get her will changed in order to give me her house.

The will is currently arranged so that it is divided in 4, one quarter each to her 3 daughters (my mother and 2 aunties) and one quarter to be further divided in 6 between her 6 grandchildren.

The only other person that has really bothered with my grandmother since her health deteriorated back in 2020 is my mother who has done a lot for her, the rest have kind of washed their hands of her.

Her grandmother insists on changing her will.

My grandmother has repeatedly asked me to have a meeting with a solicitor arranged so that the will can be changed in order to give the entirety of her house to me. She says that she doesnt want anyone else to get the house as other family members either don’t need the money or no longer visit her.

I have discussed what she has asked for with the rest of my family who have all said they want the will left the way it is and it isn’t for me to be “meddling” in something that I am not entitled to have an opinion on anyway.

WIBTA for letting my grandmother change things?

She is hesitant to help her grandmother change the will.

I think that if the will were to be changed at this stage, it would cause WW3 within my family either now or after my grandmother is gone.

Also, I know I have done a lot for my grandmother and I have helped prevent her from going into care, but I havent done this alone as my mother has also played a huge part in keeping her at home, so i could feel guilty about getting an entire house from any will whilst causing the rest of my family to resent both me and my grandmother’s decision.

Any and all judgements are welcome….

It’s up to her grandmother, and her grandmother wants her to have the house. I think she should follow through with changing the will.

Let’s see how Reddit reacted to this story.

It would be mean if she didn’t let her change her will.

It’s up to her grandmother and nobody else.

Everyone agrees that this is grandmother’s decision.

I agree with this comment. She shouldn’t have told her family.

This is a good point. Her grandmother is being nice because she was nice.

It’s not meddling to follow your grandmother’s wishes.
