Redditor Inherits Elderly Neighbor's Fortune, Faces Backlash from Estranged Granddaughters

In November 2025, a Redditor found themselves in an emotional and unexpected situation involving an inheritance from their late elderly neighbor. Six years earlier, the Redditor had moved to a new country and befriended their neighbor, a sweet old woman who had been largely abandoned by her own family.

Over the years, the pair grew close, with the Redditor helping the neighbor with her garden and celebrating holidays together. It was clear the neighbor's estranged relationship with her three granddaughters, who had not visited her in 13 years, caused her great pain.
