My husband and I have two children. A forty-year-old son, Max, and a thirty-two-year-old daughter, Monika. When Monika got pregnant and married, my husband and I decided to take my grandmother to our three-room apartment and let them live in my grandmother’s two-room apartment. Monika and her husband have been living there ever since. They already have two children. After my grandmother died, we found out that she had made a will for Monika and Max. “So, I tell my son, it makes no sense. Part of our apartment belongs to him, and the other part belongs to Monika. So why shouldn’t he give up his share in his grandmother’s apartment? Let it belong entirely to his sister, they’ve been living there for years and are unlikely to move out.
And Monica would give up her share in our apartment, and the whole three-room apartment would be his. My son thought about it and agreed. It was a logical proposal. And then my daughter-in-law, Maria, calls me. “Are you mocking your son? You want your Monika to get the whole apartment tomorrow. Will your son ever get his own? In twenty years or more? And what guarantee is there that Monica will refuse her inheritance? There is none! No, we won’t give it up.
I said, why are you interfering? This is our family’s business, our son’s inheritance. We will solve our issues ourselves. She says: “What concerns my husband concerns me! I am against it.
Everything will remain as it is. Or I’ll say more. Half of the apartment belongs to my husband. Either he pays the rent or we move there. But this cannot happen. How can a son take rent from his sister or move into a two-room apartment where four people already live? My daughter-in-law went crazy. We have never had such in-laws in our family. To have a fight like that, to say such things? Never! She brought up the fact that they have a mortgage on their apartment. They’ve been paying for ten years and will probably pay for another five. What do you think? Is the daughter-in-law so stupid? Or has she opened her husband’s eyes? Will the sister not give up her share and the husband will be left with nothing?
