Inheritance law in Canada Puns

Hey Reddit!

Here’s a bit of backstory. Me (23 F) and my husband (24 M) have been together for 8 years and married for one. In this time I’ve come to be really close to his mothers side of the family but not so much his fathers.

My husband’s father has only been in my husband’s life for the past 3 years and in this time I’ve tried to get along with him, I mean really tried. We are on ok terms, he just says things sometimes that are rude. For example, last week he told me I’ve put on weight despite knowing I’m in ED recovery. I’ve let everything slide he has said purely for the fact my husband really enjoys spending time with his dad and I am happy they have rekindled their relationship.

Now, in June this year my beloved mother passed away from Sarcoma. it’s been hard as I cared for her in the months before her passing. Since she was my only biological family i have been left everything. Stocks, a house and a moderate sum of money. I’ve kept this quiet in the family with only my husband and a few friends knowing. Somehow my father in law found out about this and has asked my husband to ask me if I will buy his house for him and he will re pay me.

I straight up said no. It maybe for the fact he didn’t ask me himself but that man is the cheapest guy I know, like choosing beggers cheap. He told my husband he has the money to buy his house but it’s in cash and doesn’t want to try to buy it because the solicitors will ask where it’s come from? Personally I want to start my own business and invest in some property (not his) and I told my husband I don’t want to do it because I’m not a bank and that money was left to me by my mother for me alone. He’s now saying that I’m being harsh and nasty and that I should thinking about it.

TLDR: my father in law wants me to buy his house with my inheritance money and I said no.

AITA?

My wife recently found out that her brother has been going around to relatives (mainly mom, dad, uncle) and telling them to leave everything to him. It's been phrased like "Hey dad, mom is leaving everything to sister, so you should leave everything to me" then turn around and say "Hey mom, dad is leaving everything to sister so you should leave everything to me" (mom and dad are divorced and don't speak)

This has also been done to a few aunts and uncles.

She actually got him to admit this in a text as well.

I think she should consult a lawyer (and go no contact, cause fuck him). She seems to want to wait till someone dies and deal with it then. Do you think getting advice now would be a prudent way to go or is she correct?

I don't want this to sound greedy like we want all the money.......i'm just pissed off at the idea of him manipulating these people. They can do whatever they want with the money

My father and I are not in good terms and I came to know from my siblings that he plans to cut me off from his will. Most of his assets are what he inherited from my grandfather (his father) who is deceased. There are some assets that my father bought as well.

From what I understand, even if I am not included in his will, I still have equal rights to his inherited assets (my grandfather's), he can cut me off only in the assets that he made himself.

Please advise. Old man is now trying to make us siblings fight over property.

Hi guys I have a question regarding inheritance. So this girl I know is lebanese and is marrying a non-lebanese. Her children will be non-lebanese. Therefore, are they eligible to inherit in Lebanon even if they are not lebanese?

My significant other (19 gender fluid) had a grandmother die a few years back that left roughly $40,000 for them but their brother was put in charge of it until they turn 25. He can spend it on anything he claims is in their best interest. When they turned 18, they came out as gender fluid and had a name change. Their car recently broke down so we attempted to get just enough money to cover a down payment on a new car. His response was that the money was left to (dead name), they are no longer that person, so they do not deserve the money. Obviously he can do this until they are 25 since he controls it, but does the name and gender change affect anything? Nothing has been legally changed yet, but they would like to get things moving.

My(36f) parents (60f and 64m) and I are from Hong Kong. My parents are both retired. My twin sister married a US citizen about a decade ago and has become a naturalized citizen. She recently convinced my parents to sell their apartment (worth approx. 6 mil usd) and to relocate to the US (as green card holders) with almost all their assets.

Friends and acquaintances have told me that considering I’m not a citizen or resident of the US, what she’s doing is essentially cutting me off from any financial or property inheritance my parents may leave behind in the future, regardless of what they stipulate in their will. Given that I am completely unfamiliar with US law, is what they are saying true? Also, does it matter which state my parents move to and stay in?

I know it's quite left leaning, very much in the realm of wealth redistribution ... but why do we think inheritance is equitable? Why do we allow wealth to be maintained within a family line? Why do our laws facilitate economic privilege to be perpetuated generation after generation?

Am I entirely alone on this, or does anyone else think that we should be revisiting the issue?

Edit: this is the extreme end of the spectrum, albeit in The States.

canada doesn’t have inheritance tax but germany does, when my player dies and i continue on as my son would he have to pay absurd amounts in tax or would he receive the full amount? i have about 500 million and i’m doing the generational achievements so i want to make that last as long as possible

I don’t really know what to think so I’m just looking for external advice.. Husband and I have two kids together and have been together for 5 years. MIL was recently diagnosed with FTD (frontotemporal dementia). Ive been telling my husband for years that we will need a house with enough space for our family and his mother. Now that time has come and I’ve spent a lot of my time taking care of her needs as she progresses. Recently other family members have been speaking amongst them selves and to my husband about keeping inheritance separate from spouses.. I was livid when I heard about this because I’m a SAHM and it’s none of their fucking business. My husband and I have a great relationship. We are best friends and we’ve already come to an agreement about this issue that we share everything and we are a family. I recently found out that my MIL said the same thing. I’m hurt and mad. I know that since it is between my husband and I to decide what we do that I should move on but I can’t stand being around her anymore. This isn’t the first thing she has done and she is an extremely eccentric person… very difficult to be around. I don’t know if I need to vent or what but I’m just having a hard time moving on. Sorry if this wall of text sucks to read. I’m tired. And mad.

Throwaway account for privacy reasons. My dad 72m is making his will and doing some really confusing stuff. He owns a home with my mom, his second wife. On his death, he wants to divide his half of the home between all 5 of his children, including me, my brother and 3 older half siblings from his first marriage. My mom will inherit the house outright if he predeceases her, right? Once she has full ownership, would she be compelled to sell and give a portion to the half siblings? This is my dad’s intention and it’s stressing my mom out as she still needs to live. On her death or selling, would the house be split between my brother and and I or all 5 siblings?

My family found itself in a somewhat complex inheritance case in Slovenia.

About two years ago; My uncle died, had no will, had no children, no parents, so his inheritance ends up going to his siblings. That happened about 2 years ago, but the case has been dragging.

One of my uncle's siblings was his sister who lived in Austria, had a husband and two daughters, but she too died, a couple of months ago.

So my question would be what happens with her share?

Under Slovenian law, it is specified that inheritance starts to belong to the heirs from the moment of the inheritor's death, though the court has not yet deliberated on this case.

It is my understanding of our Slovenian law, that if she died before her brother, her descendants would take her share by Slovenian law.

But since she outlived him, inheritance was already hers (even if not yet properly ruled to her), and so her heirs ought to get it, whoever they are. And I believe Austrian law would apply to make that determination. (which I'm having trouble checking on because I don't speak German) She has two children and a husband, so my question is, what happens with her share?

It has been stated before that the Quran contains a mathematical error. In specific cases, the Quranic inheritance laws would result in fractions that exceed 1; in other words, one would need more money than what's actually left to be able to distribute the inheritance the way the Quran says.
Muslim scholars usually respond with very weak arguments that I have listed and responded to below.

Inheritance error [Q- 4:11-12; Q- 4:176]:

The Quran gives relatives fixed fractions from the inheritance. The fractions work in most cases. Both Muhammad and Abu Bakr died before any issue would arise. During Umar's caliphate they found that in some cases the fractions don't work. They come up with the 'Awl concept in which everyone's share is reduced proportionally in a fair way so that they can give every relative a fair share.

Quick example: A female dies and only has a husband and 2 sisters. Husband gets 1/2. 2 sisters get 2/3 together. The sum of these fractions (3/6 + 4/6) equals 7/6 ~~ 1.16. 'Awl causes 3/6 to become 3/7 and 4/6 to become 4/7. Everyone's share decreases in a fair way.

Problem #1: The Quranic method does not work. You can't give people 1.16 when you have 1.
Problem #2: 'Awl contradicts the Quran. It doesn't use the same fractions. People wouldn't end up with what God decided for them (Husband should receive 1/2 [3/6] of what the wife left. he gets 3/7 instead).

Islamic objection #1: Hadith says we must follow what the Caliphs decide. | Doesn't change the fact that the Caliph had to fix a mistake in the Quran.

Islamic objection #2: God didn't tell us what to do when the sum of everyone's share equals more than one, and so, scholars have developed the best way to be fair. | You're using the mistake as an apology, God mentioned the fractions and gave no conditions for using them, they're fixed. If they didn't work it's because of an internal error. Scholars deductions (استنباط) would only be accepted if God didn't mention something; God clearly mentioned the fractions of everyone in the example; if God's rule is faulty you don't just come up with a fix and call it a day.
*Some scholars say that 'Awl is hinted at in the Quran when God reduced the share of the mother when there were kids. This doesn't fix anything; we're talking about a situation in which everything is mentioned yet they don't work + we need to reduce everyone's shares (and basically not use God's faulty rule).

Islamic objection #3: It doesn't have to eq

I have a brother and I am 15 years older than he is. Our parents died when I was 21 and I took in my brother. The only proper thing my parents did was invest in real estate and left behind a will that left me and my brother half. However, I am the trustee of my brother's half until he is 35. My brother married at 22. He's 25 now. I don't like his wife. She's self-centered, a bitch, nasty and can't be nice. But my brother is in love with her. They are very open about never having children, which both saddens and relieves me at the same time. My brother also has some health issues as well.

Whenever my brother needed money and he did not have it (he works as a machinist) , he would have to ask me. I run his half of the inheritance. I sold all the real estate my parents owned and made a ton of money. I am very strict with what I approve, much to my brother's anger. I tell him I might his brother, but I am also the bank and banks just don't give money out. For example, he wanted to buy his wife a $25,000 necklace and I refused. $25,000 is a drop in the bucket, but that money isn't going to wasted on stuff like that.

Recently, he wanted to buy a nice house and asked for money. I told him that it was probably the smartest thing he's ever asked money for. It's a nice house and a good investment. It will give my brother a good project to work on. I said I would, but only if the house deed is in the name of the trust. He asked why. I told him because I didn't want his wife getting it if something should happen. He started up with his whole "it's my money" rant and I told him it is, but I control it for another 10 years.

His wife ended calling me (I haven't spoken to her in years). She tried making the issue of the house as something for my brother. I told her that the trust is between me and my brother and it's none of her business. She has no claim to it. She asked what did she do to me that made me "hate" her. I said I didn't hate her, I just want to make sure she doesn't get any of the trust money. The idea of my brother getting ill and dying and all that money going to her makes me sick to my stomach. He lost both parents when he was 7, had health issues and has a massive trust. I am just doing everything I can legally do watch out for his best interests.

I have not heard from them in 2 weeks.

EDIT: I forgot to mention this, but his wife encouraged him to get a lawyer to wrestle control of his half away from me. But even he didn't want to do that because h

Dear Redditors,

This is a bit of an unusual question however an important one (especially these days) for which there is often a lack of understanding in the expat community.

If the husband / father of an expat family resident in Oman passes away what happens to the inheritance under the local laws with assets both here and back home?

1. I seem to understand only a small % goes to the widow by default and the bulk goes to the kids and parents of the deceased? Are their fixed % for each?
2. If there is a will saying it should all go to the widow will it be respected?
3. Does the said will need to be notarized locally?

Thank you for your help.

First of all, my English is not that good, it's not my native language, I am sorry in advance for any grammatical errors.

I (32F) am married to my husband, Andy(35M) for 5 years. A year after our wedding, my mother in law past away. I told my husband, we should ask his dad, Jacob(71), to live with us or with his sister, Monica(38). I think it's the Asian in me that makes me feel we are obligated to take care of my father in law.

My husband called her sister, Monica, she lives in MA & we live in OH. Her husband, Arthur, was against this idea, he told us they have no room in their house, they have an extra bedroom but it's for guests. Arthur insisted to just move Jacob to a retirement house. Arthur also told us how when Andy and Monica were kid, Jacob was busy, strict, & they don't have the best relationship. Andy then said, "yeah, dad was strict, and sometimes, he said something cruel, but that is the past and he is a different person now". I asked will it be okay if we asked Jacob to stay with us, they said yes.

When we asked Jacob, if he wants to move with us, he was grateful but declined the offer. Four months after our conversation, I gave birth to our baby boy. Jacob visited us & he changed his mind, he chose to stay with us & we could not be happier. Since last year, Jacob's health has been declining. I took care of him, I was there for every surgery. His doctors told me he only has three months & suggested for him to be at home with his family. At this point, Jacob already live with us for three years. I do everything in my power to make him feel comfortable. He died two weeks ago.

In the will, he gave Monica $5M and he set up a $500k trust fund for each of her kids. They have two kids so total $1 M. He gave Andy $3M and a cabin in Aspen, CO (worth around $2M). He knew Andy will enjoy the cabin in the winter. He also set up a trust fund for our kid, $500k. He gave me $5M too. He wrote that he is grateful Andy found me and that he loved me like his own kid. I cried when I read the will.

Yesterday, I received a call from Arthur. He is demanding me to share my inheritance with him, he said that he is entitled to half of my inheritance because he is with Monica longer than Andy with me. They need more money because they have more kids. I was shocked and I told him I'll discuss it with Andy. Arthur starts cursing at me and said that no I don't need to discuss this with my husband it's between me and him. I hung up.

My kid is going to private school (partial scholarship) and my in-laws very kindly offered to cover the fees for the next few years as we'd be quite stretched with that and mortgage. they saved money to give my husband as inheritance but it would make more sense to use it now when we could really use it and avoid paying hefty tax later.

Is this allowed or would we still need to pay tax for the money they spend of the school fees?

Sorry if this was already a big point of discussion I only thought of it recently.

When Jeor Mormont join the Watch his son became the new lord of Bear Island, but when Jorah had to flee Westeros his aunt take the island. I imagine Jeor had no other living brothers and some cousins to press a claim. And since Maege only had daughters of course the oldest living one will inherit Mormont Keep and the island. But.... why does her daughters have Mormont as their family name? I thought that all the nobles north of the red mountains would inherit their father's name. Does the Mormonts follow a tradition similar to Dorne? We know that is not uncommon for women in Bear Island to be warriors, so maybe women there have a slight different treatment. Or maybe this was an exception to keep the family name alive (Harry the heir would take the name Arryn). What do you guys think?

If there already is a known answer for that please let me know.

Serious post.

Lets say someone’s living abroad in the US then their father dies, what happens to the property in US and Pakistan? How does the assets (whatever he owned) goes to his direct descendants (wife, daughters and sons) and to nobody else?

What are all the legal steps you would take?

Who would you go to as in embassy, lawyers etc. and who else?

Edit:Lahore is the location. How do you make sure the property doesnt get claimed (kubza) or stolen?

What would you do so no assets are shared/given to anyone else besides descendants of the father?

There are several cases of this and my faith is slightly shaken. how can there be mistakes in the quran. what would happen, say, if a man dies he has, a widow, 2 daughters and both parents.

under 4.11 of the quran it mentions how to deal out the inheritance.

so the daughters will get 2/3

widow will get 1/8

parents will get 1/6 each.

that adds upto 112.5%. please help me there must be some kind of mistake
