My brother legally changed his name and has now been taken out of my parent's will, what should I do?

Question

My older brother recently legally changed his name to Fruity McFruity. My parents were shocked and disgusted and removed his name from their will. They have a lot of money. I am now the sole benificiary of their will. I will get everything when they die. After my parents die, should I divide the money with my brother or respect my parent's wishes and give him nothing?

Answer 1

That is totally up to you to do with your inheritance if or when you might receive it, as your benefactor(S) will have passed on and left you with a great responsibility.

So it really is a matter how well do you get along with your brother, and how well has he treated you in the present, past, and future

good luck. i believe you already know the answer, but it dosen;t hurt to get feed back.

Answer 2

Are your parents going to die soon?  Chances are after about ten years:

1) Your brother will change his name to something that won't get him automatically refused from jobs/laughed at/etc

2) Your parents will put him back in the will

Answer 3

This is a pathetic question, and you need to think of a new name to use when you ask questions about your "Brother".

I remember the one where you or a friend of yours asked about him changing his name for a recording contract also. Sad you seek attention this way.

Answer 4

if you really love your brother..you should let him in oh the inheritance...of course..think of how much you should leave him...a person that goes by the name "McFruity" can't be very good at planning...consider that before you make a decision  

Answer 5

You  do what feels right in your heart.  If you have a heart you will split the $$ with him.  Dont tell him now just let things ride.   Who knows your brother may die before them and then you want have to decide.  I mean nothing bad by that.  It is just alot of times things work out alot different than we expect.  So chill!

Answer 6

sounds like you bro takes it the as*

right

give em some

it takes a real man to change him name to fruity mc fruity

Answer 7

Sounds like he might need some "therapy" so set some money aside in a trust fund so he can get the help he needs for changing his name like that. I'm sure there were other reasons to why he was removed from the will that you may not know about.

Answer 8

Your Parents cut your bother out of the will cause he changed his name? I think b/c he i your brother you should split it. even though its against your parents wishes you should be fair. after all hes your brother

Answer 9

Follow your heart, it's your money but honestly, if I were you I would split 50-50. I would never neglect a sibling because of something so trivial and your parents sound totally nuts to do that over something so minor.

Answer 10

Fruity McFruity?? Grow up

Answer 11

i wouldnt give someone that stupid money either lmao yeah go by their wishes not yours...

Answer 12

That's a hard one, are you serious about the name? lol,  I would divide the money, have a talk with your parents and tell them what you think.

Answer 13

Always respect your parents but they didn't stipulate what you should or rather could do with the money did they?

Answer 14

After they die it's your money do with it what you want but that is a terrible name.  Who knows in time they might make up and you won't have to worry about this.

Answer 15

its all up to u..... if thats what your parents want then.....
