Talk with your parents about their inheritance plans. Include your sibling(s) in this discussion. “Mom and Dad, I want to make sure everyone is on the same page about the trust fund. I have a few questions, and I think it would be a good idea for everyone to be there so that you can clear up any concerns.” “Charlie, you told me before that you are entitled to 75% of our parents’ estate. But in this document, it looks like the money will be split evenly between all three of us. Mom and Dad, is that right?” Urge your parents to create a living trust so that your sibling cannot have their will declared invalid. “I’m concerned that Jessica may try to dispute your will in court. I think it would be a good idea to lay out the distribution guidelines so that everything is clear and out in the open.” If your sibling truly isn’t willing to listen to reason, inform your parents that they may have to legally disinherit them. “We all love Kevin, but he’s insisting on suing me for my portion of the trust. The only way to stop him from doing that is for you to remove his name from the will.” “Of course this is completely up to you, but I think it would be for the best if you disinherited Abigail. Otherwise, she will keep on fighting with me about the distribution of the estate.”
