No doubt about it, things can get UGLY when it comes to families and money. When someone passes away, a family should come together, but often, the money stuff really makes that difficult.

And you best believe that this Reddit user is going through it!

Read their story below and see if you think they did anything wrong.

AITA for writing my siblings out of my will?

“My brother (30M) and sister (25F) have lived very far from me for a long period of time, going on a over a decade now.

They never bothered to include me as a sibling growing up and have continued the tradition into adulthood.

Contact is sparse at best, and only when initiated by a mutual 3rd party, never voluntary on their end, and all attempts from me are ignored.

They got some bad news…

I have received a medical diagnosis that isn’t looking good and I wanted to ensure that, should the worst come, my affairs would be in order over the next few years.

I updated my living will recently (family doesn’t know I have one) and struck them from it, barring them from receiving anything, instead leaving assets to my parents with instructions on their provisioning.

Not everyone thinks it’s a good idea.

Friends have told me that I’m being harsh and I should include them, but I hardly know them any more and any interactions have been largely negative over the past 10-15 years.

I could care less what happens after I’m gone but I don’t want what I worked hard for to go to them.”
