I am 24 m and my brother is 25 m. My parents passed away in a car accident about a year ago. Mom was on the passenger side. An elderly lady pulled out and t-boned them. Dad died instantly. Mom died a week later. No one was charged. <br><br>I was very close to my parents. They came to see me very regularly and sometimes I would go home for the weekend. My 25 year old brother did not get along with dad. He saw him once a week but he didn’t visit as much as I did. <br><br>Dad left the majority of his inheritance to me while a smaller amount to my brother. He didn’t leave a note explaining why but I’m guessing it’s because they weren’t close. <br><br>I had a very casual conversation with him a few days ago and I told him how my lawyers were having trouble finding him so they could give him his inheritance. He thought we were splitting it equally because he had no idea my dad left a larger portion to me. <br><br>He didn’t believe me when I told him my dad left him a smaller amount until he got the call. He called me crying, yelling and accusing me of influencing our dad’s decision. I told him I had no idea. He said I was supposed to look out for him as his brother and that I’m supposed to split my half with him. I said no.<br><br>He hasn’t called me in weeks. All of our calls go to voicemail. I’m sad that he feels this way but I also feel like I worked hard and deserve the inheritance. I’m starting to feel guilty.
