Land: Which includes a forest, lake and beach. I also have access roads to it, i.e like the basic infrastructure.

Bizarely the government have given me planning permission (which I didn't ask for) to build on it too.

Mental, given its effectively set in a national trust type land/location.


I don't really know what I'm going to do with it.
Sounds valuable.

Already had 40k from my Grandmother who is still alive, but considering one of her properties is valued at nearly 3.5mil (Guernsey) and others near Esher, probably still a bit more to come biggrin
Not that she was wealthy enough to leave anything of value, but I'd swap all that and much more to have her still alive. frown

I inherited the house I am currently living. It has been owned by my family for 95 years but never used as primary residence.

Don't think so.

We inherited my mother in laws estate approx. 4 years ago which enabled us to now live mortgage free as well as purchase a brand new flat to rent out with some money left for a rainy day. We greatly appreciate/respect what we were left with and don't waste a penny (well, maybe a few were wasted) !!
Sounds like you wasted most of it, no hookers, drugs or fast cars?!
Haha, my wife bought a 1 series convertible and I'm shopping for a new M3 saloon so does that count!!

Dad spent everything on the house that Mum still lives in. It's worth a bit but split 3 ways won't pay my mortgage off. It'll be a healthy help though however it could all go towards supporting Mum on her old age yet.

I don't need it. I'd rather have my Dad back. My most invaluable inheritance was my being capable of supporting myself and my family. That's priceless.

It might have been nice to have "that something" that described my Dad but there really wasn't anything. His sense of humour and good grace was legendary. I have some of each and my brother has some too.

I have some Rolls Royce spanners from my grandfather that fit nothing I own. My brothers & I have one of these from my dad which is rather a cool thing in itself.

Morals, memories and values.
Despite being a pair of grafters, mum and dad were not very lucky along the way, but the memories I'm left with are priceless.

Damn right.

I've only lost my grandparents so far and my grandma in 2011 was last. She left me £1500 which given that she came from an immensely financially poor Lancashire mill-working background was an enormous sum.
