Inheritance can create a lot of family drama.<\/p>\n

If you thought you were going to inherit a lot of money, you might not be too careful about saving for the future, but what if you didn\u2019t end up getting that inheritance after all? Would you wish that someone would\u2019ve told you so that you could\u2019ve been better prepared for retirement?<\/p>\n

This man<\/a> learned that he would receive the majority of his grandparents\u2019 estate, but his dad had been counting on the inheritance to secure his future.<\/p>\n

So now, he\u2019s torn between keeping the secret and telling his dad the truth.<\/p>\n

Read the story below to find out more.<\/p>\n

My mother died when I was 16.<\/p>\n

My dad married another woman two years later.<\/p>\n

My grandparents, my dad\u2019s parents, hate my stepmother.<\/p>\n

I really don\u2019t like her either.<\/p>\n

This man and his grandparents never really liked his dad\u2019s new wife.<\/p>\n

Even after my half-siblings were born, my grandparents never warmed up to her.<\/p>\n

My grandparents are quite wealthy.<\/p>\n

My father has been banking on this inheritance for a while. He has even been not paying into his retirement because he\u2019s so sure that he will inherit the millions.<\/p>\n

He learned that he will inherit most of his grandparents\u2019 estate.<\/p>\n

I just found out on Saturday that I\u2019m getting the majority of my grandparents\u2019 estate.<\/p>\n

My father is getting a token amount of $50,000 so he can\u2019t dispute it.<\/p>\n

My grandparents made me promise not to give out any money after, and I intend to keep my word.<\/p>\n

But he feels guilty for not telling his dad about the inheritance.<\/p>\n

But I do feel really guilty that my father just spends his money as it\u2019s coming in because he\u2019s relying on money he won\u2019t get.<\/p>\n

I also found out my dad is in a lot of debt.<\/p>\n

AITA for not telling him?<\/p>\n

His dad would probably save more of his money if he knew, but if he tells his dad, his dad will probably try to convince the grandparents to change their minds. What\u2019s the right thing to do?<\/p>\n
