Unequal Inheritance - Left out of the will or trust, or told a parent will split things unevenly? Learn what you can and cannot do, whether to speak up or contest, and how to protect the family relationship. #1012519

You open the envelope, or a parent says it out loud at the dinner table: your brother gets more. Or you get nothing at all. Suddenly you are stuck between feeling wronged, guilt about 'making a fuss', and a fear of a family blow-up or a lawyer's bill bigger than anything you could ever recover. Nobody tells you whether it is even legal. Unequal Inheritance is a calm, plain-English guide for the adult who was left less than a sibling, left out of a will or trust, or warned that an uneven split is coming. It is not a guide to writing your own estate plan, not a manual for the trustee, and not a book about being pressured to sign release papers. It is for the person on the receiving end of an uneven plan who needs to know what a parent or relative can generally do, what you can and cannot do about it, and how to decide whether to speak up, ask, negotiate, contest, or let it go without losing your family. Everything is hedged to your own state or country, and the book tells you plainly when to stop and call a licensed estate attorney. Inside, you'll learn: This book promises no outcome and settles no case.
