Grandmother Excludes Youngest Grandson from Will and Leaves Him Only a Dusty Chest

When Luke complained about his inheritance to his grandmother, Elizabeth, 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 Elizabeth 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. Elizabeth thought that the eldest, Tom, should get her oceanfront penthouse in Miami, worth millions of dollars.

The middle grandson, Aidan, would inherit her current house in Milford, which was worth around the same as the Miami property. “Finally, Luke will get the money in all my accounts,” Elizabeth revealed as she finished her tea. Tom and Aiden were satisfied with her decision, but Luke was upset.

“Grandma! I can’t believe you’re leaving the best for my brothers! That’s not fair! Everyone knows you don’t have that much money in your accounts!” Luke bellowed. Elizabeth frowned at Luke, and his brothers couldn’t believe he would burst out like that.

“Luke, sit down! You can’t yell at Grandma like that. You sound really entitled right now, you know? She doesn’t have to give you anything,” Tom growled.

“Of course! You’re both happy because you’re getting millions of dollars worth of property. But I’ll be lucky to get a few thousand dollars,” Luke replied to his big brother. Aidan also told him he was acting like a brat, so he stormed out of their meeting.

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, Elizabeth’s 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, Elizabeth 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 Elizabeth had promised them.

But Luke did not get her accounts. “Elizabeth changed her will after we completed the first draft. Luke, she loved you more than anyone… So you will be receiving this antique chest, which she treasured,” her lawyer explained. This caused Luke to snap and yell at everyone in the room. Tom tried to calm him down, but Aidan didn’t want to put up with his brother’s outbursts again.

“Luke, this is probably her punishment for how you yelled at her years ago. Our grandmother is gone! She was the only relative we had left! You are so ungrateful and entitled! Take the chest and think about how entitled and horrible you sound right now!” Aidan screamed at his brother. Luke stopped, looked at all of them in anger, and left the room.
