However, you can ask me anything. I believe in the value of honesty and I will do my best to be ethical, fair and genuine. xoxoxoxo

My brother passed away and left me some money. My sister inlaw says I should share it since her husband helped pay for funeral expenses as did I. The estate will still pay us for those expenses- is she right or wrong?
Dear Sister,
I'm so sorry for your loss. He obviously loved you very much. Your brother left you some money. Those were his wishes. That's why you leave a will so the people the deceased cared about will leave the legacy they want. On the other hand, it is entirely up to you what you want to do with that money. It's not really a question of right or wrong in my opinion, it's more a question of what your brother wanted you to have. You can share what he gave you if that's what you want to do, if not, there should be no guilt or feeling of obligation and sister in-law should accept that.
Good luck. (and invest/spend wisely)
