My niece had a big formal wedding and invited everyone and their dog,?

Question

except my branch of the family. Me my wife and mother. I cut her out of my will and I had planned to give her everything I had at my demise IF I lived the other members of my immediate family. What do you think about this?

Answer 1

Wow - I would be extremely hurt and probably angry.

Why do you think that she didn't invite you, your wife and your mother? Had something happened recently.

Do you guys all live in the same household? Is it possible that your invitation got lost in the mail. That has happened before.

Maybe you should write her a letter. You can say congrats on the marriage, but also tell her how hurt and upset you are that you were not invited to share in her special day. It might help you just to clear the air with her...

Answer 2

I wouldn't have invited someone to my wedding who was so judgemental that they would leap to cut me out of their will.

The people at my wedding were people who would love me not only if I hadn't invited them to my wedding but whatever I did. She was right. You shouldn't have been there.

Answer 3

Why, I wonder, would you announce to a niece that you have cut her out of the will if you weren't being a jerk?  Makes no sense since most people would assume that an estate would to go either your wife or mother if you had no children. Furthermore, if you cut her out of the will, how could she possibly receive anything at your demise?  Lots of stuff going on here and you are probably cut off for a reason.

Answer 4

Hard to say with more information. What is your prior relationship with your niece? With her parents (your siblings or your wife's)? I'm not about to take sides -probably not anyway even with more information, but I do firmly believe in not jumping to conclusions or reacting before finding out everything there is to know about a situation - i.e. talk to the parents, talk to her, try and work it out. I don't always subscribe to the adage blood is thicker than water, but I think given one is 'stuck' with family, there are usually a few different solutions to smooth things over or patch things up as best as possible if there are issues, before resorting to burning any bridges or taking retaliating measures like cutting people out of wills. I'm thinking there is some kind of relationship there to begin with if you had planned on putting her in your will in the first place? So maybe there are ways of finding out and working out why no invite, before taking this drastic step?

Good luck

Answer 5

ouch I can see how much that would Hurt if you thought enough of her to make her your heir and she did not even invite you to the wedding but that being said you might talk to her may be she sent and invitation and you did not get it. mail dose get lost and if you all live in one house odds are good that it could have happened

Answer 6

I would not have wanted to be at a wedding with a bunch of dogs anyway. I love dogs but not at a wedding.

Answer 7

oh,,, tough one. talk to her maybe she didn't have enough space? otherwise whats done is done, just pick her brain a bit to see what happened.  maybe she assumed something???

Answer 8

what the?  that would be a big slap on the face...do what you got to do...obviously she wasnt thinking of you...but you should of talked to your nieces parents to see why?  I would want to know....ask and add details.

Answer 9

Your money and property is yours to do with as you please, but it sounds to me like there's a reason you weren't invited. Since you give none in your question, I have to assume it's something that was done or said to her that she took exception with.  Find out why before making assumptions!

Answer 10

that'll teach her! :)
