Grandmother Excludes Youngest Grandson from Will and Leaves Him Only a Dusty Chest – Story of the Day ​

When Luke complained about his inheritance to his grandmother, Mrs. Waters, she wrote him off her will and left him with a dusty old chest. He stored it in the attic for years until his curious daughter, Meredith, found it while snooping around. Luke finally opened it and couldn’t believe what was inside.

When Mrs. Elizabeth Waters turned 80 years old, she decided to draft a will and divide her assets among her three grandsons: Tom, Aidan, and Luke. Then she invited them over for tea at her house in Milford, Connecticut, and told them what they were each getting.

The older brothers thanked their grandmother for her generosity, and they promised to speak to Luke to keep the peace between them. After all, they didn’t have any other family left. Their mother, Mrs. Waters’ daughter, died in a boating accident with her husband when Luke turned 18. The three of them had already inherited a ton of money from their parents.

But despite Tom and Aidan’s assurances, Mrs. Waters got to thinking. She talked to her lawyers again and decided that Luke needed to learn a huge lesson. When she died two years later, the brothers gathered for the will reading. In the end, Tom and Aiden received exactly what Mrs. Waters had promised them.

But Luke did not get her accounts. “Mrs. Waters changed her will after we finished making the first draft. Luke will be receiving this antique chest, which Mrs. Waters treasured,” her lawyer explained. This caused Luke to snap and yell at everyone in the...
