My brother
Got all the inheritance when pops snuffed it, mainly because everyone else thought he was a massive cunt and my bro was only 12 and had yet to tell him so.

When he hit 18 he inherited a 3 bedroomed house which was promptly sold, the navy pension, and any money/savings/life insurance etc. Total came to well over £300k

He has just turned 23 and its all gone and he has nowt to show for it. He rented a flat and held massive parties every night. He purchased high end paintball guns and gear for himself and his 7 best mates so they could go out and play urban paintball, nearly been arrested several times for that one. He bought a set of tattoo equipment saying he was going to learn and set up his own parlor, he didn't. He spent thousands on spray paint and massive canvases to practice on.

He's now flat broke like the rest of and has decided to try getting an education.

Money well spent I say!

Noooo he's excellent
He bought my sister everything she needed when she got knocked up but didn't have any cash and he would have given me monies if I had asked I just didn't want.

This is a classic example as to why trust funds are required, tied to maturity.
He could have been set for a reasonable standard of living, funding for a viable business or whatever. Instead he's fucked it against the wall, aided and abetted by leeches no doubt, and now he's back to land of bedsits. Wonderful.

You can but watch stupidity unfold.

I remember spending about £1800 inheritence when I was 16
That felt like £500K at the time. The £9K we got paid off a car loan, bought something nice for everyone in the house and got me my guitar.

I'm getting some inheritance soon
but no one will tell me how much and I feel too bad to ask. I'm getting some antique pearl cuff links though. Which is nice.

It feels wrong to ask

Often it's because it's hard to tell until all the paperwork has been done

Yeah, after £6k of lawyers as well.

I'm due some this month, well I say this month it should have been February, useless solicitor
Also between the two sets of solicitors and Santander, they lost a bank account with £75k in it. Dad only found it because he is an admin machine.

It's Cameron and his cronies,
using it to fund their "big society" bank.

I doubt I will ever get any
My family are the kind of people that only pass it down the the next generation and my mum is only 18 years older than me so could easily outlive me. Might get some on the wifes side but they're a bunch of miserly fuckers who will probably leave thrupence and hay-penny to the cats home.
