Have a few steps removed relative who fell hard for this. “Good Christian” turned out to be her believe-anything hotbutton. She’s lost 10s of thousands, and that became her excuse to seize her mother’s full inheritance when she died, rather than have it distributed according to her wishes, because she “needs the money” more than her fully disabled sister who lives on 1/10th of her income.
“Good Christian” must mean something else to some people.
I suspect had she not gotten conned, she still would have cheated her sister out of the money. For some reason the word “inheritance” does strange things in some families.
As far as I know, she’s the only rotten apple in that tree.
Her sister has been disabled her entire life, and she’s soon to enter technical “retirement age” where our loving government decides she’s no longer “disabled” but merely “old”, in terms of her benefits. Old-Age-Security isn’t going to keep her powered wheelchair in good repair, or pay for caregivers to visit her apartment three times a day to get her out of bed, showered, fed three meals, and back into bed.
That portion of their mother’s inheritance wasn’t being distributed randomly; it was part of a well-considered plan. One now broken.
The downside of inheritance is that the person with the best argument for why they set up the distribution the way they did is no longer available to present those thoughts. Another problem is that eventually the money always seems to go to people who would benefit from having to break a sweat to feed and cloth themselves. Living with a disability counts towards this.
I think we miscommunicated.
There’s a difference between “living with A disability” and “Fully disabled”.
We’re talking here about a person who requires another person’s assistance to dress themselves, toilet, and cook meals, as well as a considerable amount of special equipment… and that was all before she was nearing her 70s. She “breaks a sweat” trying to recover something that dropped to the floor (if it can be done at all).
