Re: have you inherited ?
My sister and I inherited my mum's house, which needed an awful lot of work doing on it. We sold it and got half each, it wasn't a fortune but it enabled me to buy a house. Mr Clumsy inherited his mother's house (much to the disgust of his two brothers, but there was a reason). It was an old farmhouse and the money from the sale enabled us to pay off our mortgage, have a nice conservatory built and to have some wonderful holidays. It also mainly funded our time in Kenya. We had enough left to buy our house in Spain and to have an extension built and the pool, very little money left but no mortgage. I also had a gold bracelet left to me by my ex husband's aunt, this is now with my daughter in law, I thought she might as well have the pleasure of it now rather than it sit in a box.Re: have you inherited ?
Yes, I received a large some of money, we had prepared for our retirement, but this was heaven sent and totally unexpected, we gave a large amount of it to my only daughter and her hubby to do what they wished with.Re: have you inherited ?

Never look a gift horse in the mouth ,but some inheritance can feel like a kick in the teeth.Re: have you inherited ?
I think we have been quite lucky really. My husband and I have both inherited from our parents, OH's inheritance was some 20 years ago, and it was split between him and his three sisters. There was a decent house and some money. When my mum died leaving her bungalow and some money, my sister and I were joint beneficiaries. The bungalow was sold and I gave my share over to my two children to help with their house purchases. We had no real need of the money and I think my mum would have approved. Trouble is frequently inheritance comes a bit too late - the time it is often most useful and you need a boost is when you are younger and have a young family of your own to bring up. Money is no good unless it is put to good use. I also inherited from my Aunt. Her will included some 23 beneficiaries plus some charities, so there was not an awful lot, about £15,000 each as I remember. I have saved it, just in case.Re: have you inherited ?
