Leaving Nieces and Nephews out of Will

Leave your money/assets/whatever to whomever you want to whether it is family, a favourite charity or any other cause or person/s that is important to you. Just make sure your will and intentions are clear and legally binding. Do not leave a minefield of uncertainty and a lawyer's picnic. You have no obligation to leave anything to anyone regardless of any real or perceived relationship.

I totally agree with you.
Leave the money etc to those who are in contact with you.

Entirely up to you. I have seen people not keep in touch with elders because they have felt it has become a competition as to who can show they care most and decide not to play the game.

I would feel exactly the same as you.
Enjoy leaving money to those who have shown over the years that they do have time for you.
No contest.

I wouldn’t be leaving them anything, they show no interest so why should you ! It’s your hard earned money go with your gut feelings

I don't think people should feel obliged to leave bequests to relatives who have shown no desire to stay in touch. I wouldn't, in fact I'm not going to. I have seven nieces only one of whom keeps in touch. So I intend for her to benefit to some degree.

Completely up to you and your husband who you leave your hard earned to .

It's your money. If they don't bother with you why leave them anything.

Your money, do what you like with it. If it causes any problems, you will have died, so not have to worry about the consequences.

Yes Kim19 I have kept in touch with all my Aunts and Uncles all my life and still do although very few are now remaining. I would not have expected to have been part of their wills as they had children, Not sure any of them had wills or anything to leave but times have changed. Most of our money is tied up in our house but the way things are going it will probably be eaten up in care home fees so there may well be nothing or very little to leave to anyone!

Just a thought..... did you keep in touch (by choice) with all your Aunts and Uncles when you were at an active and crazy time of your life? Second thought is would you have minded if you had been excluded from any of their wills when others were indulged? Answer that honestly to yourself and you'll have no problem with your decision. Good luck and may you live long enough for some of these relationships to take a turn to your liking.

We would be in a similar position if we had any money, but we have ACs and Grandchildren so none left over for nephews and nieces. However we have some that we never see or hear from, we don’t hear from their parents either, so I wouldn’t leave them anything.
It’s your money so do what you want with it.

Leave your money to whoever you choose to. The ones you’ve lost touch with most likely won’t know that they’ve missed out.

Do as you wish, it’s your money, I would feel the same as you.

Just leave your money to those who care about you. It sounds like you have lost contact with the others and I'm sure they don't expect anything anyway
