Old pieces of silverware.

I dislike polishing silverware. My sister-in-law gave me a couple of pieces of silver that were pretty worn. I tried polishing and it didn't improve its' look. I finally just gave them to Goodwill. My darling sister-in-law 'cleaned up' after her and hubby's grandparents passed away. By cleaning up I mean she took all the antiques, crystal, diamonds, silver, etc. You get the idea. Hubby got nothing. I don't really want anything, I just think she could of been nicer about it all.

This piece of silver reminded me of the ones she gave us.e02ddda5f0a2a53a73ea7d3c50600a24[1].jpg
 

I don’t get exactly how you were related to this SIL. Is she your brother’s wife, or your husband’s sister? What is the “hubby’s “ relation to you Didn’t you feel you could have said something to either her or the “hubby” if you felt SIL was doing something wrong?

Another reason for a will. Defining who gets what takes the potential of resentment out of an inheritance.

I am very surprised that my hubby's grandparents did not have a will as intelligent as they were. I'll never know what transpired; I wasn't in the scene back then. And hubby was attending college elsewhere. Grandfather was a doctor and his grandmother was a registered nurse.

Hubby has no resentment at all; his heart is made of gold.

It's all ok.

p.s. Mom didn't have a will and it was somewhat time consuming to sell her house and property; but we got a very good attorney to take care of that.

I should not have included potential of resentment in my post. The intent was to point out that part of planning should include a will clearly defining last wishes.

This part brought home the way no will can change how family views can be affected.

I don't like asking but did hubby getting nothing & SIL not being nicer change your view of your SIL?
