i know de ploogins am guna exploit de severs ! !! 1 ! <| sep |> How dare you attempt to work logic into this ! Don ' t you know this is the Internet ! ? p <| sep |> They ' re reaping what they sowed <| sep |> I will share soon . <| sep |> Apparently they also know how to be incredibly hot . Is there an exchange program ? <| sep |> I think everyone in rnba knows who she is <| sep |> I had a momentary wonder why it wasn ' t split between him and his sister but then I realized if she is just about to go to college and is thus probably a minor , and could be more likely swayed to give money to cousins and such . OP , you seem extremely generous to your immediate family , and justifiably more distant from your more distant relatives . You definitely should talk to a lawyer and a financial professional about this money . If I were you I would talk to those professionals about setting up a trust and putting some of the money in that for my immediate minor sibling money they could use for education but that could not be siphoned off and given to distant relatives . I ' d also want some sort of trust situation that would be able to pay for such things as housing and medical and other such things for my parents , but at the same time keep it protected from creditors to your father ' s business . Anyway . A lot of people are saying this money is yours and yours alone , and legally they are right . However , I believe your grandmother gave you this money precisely because you seem so willing to use it to better the situation of your immediate family , the family that cared for her during her final years . So , I don ' t think you should suddenly change character and follow any advice that is only for your individual benefit rather than balancing that against the welfare of your parents and sister . However , NOBODY ELSE has claim . This money morally belongs to those who cared for your grandma you , sister , and parents , legally belongs exclusively to you , and you seem convinced to spend it in the way to help those I think have moral claim you , sister , and parents . You ' re doing it right just , now you have enough money , consult professionals , a lawyer and financial adviser , to make sure you protect this money .
