I recently transferred my house to my 18-year-old granddaughter.

I&rsquo;m her only family ever since my son left, and I know that this inheritance will benefit my granddaughter.\n</p><p>My son finally went home after years of no contact. He came home because he missed my home cook. I was touched, of course, I miss my son as well. He suddenly opened up about his argument with his new wife and asked for my advice, which I responded.\n<figure id='\"attachment_24874\"' aria-describedby='\"caption-attachment-24874\"' style='\"width:' class='\"wp-caption' aligncenter><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' class='\"size-full' wp-image-24874 src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/echowoven.com%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2025%5C/02%5C/An-Inheritance-Dispute-Is-Tearing-Our-Family-Apart-1.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"728\"' height='\"485\"' title='\"\"'><figcaption id='\"caption-attachment-24874\"' class='\"wp-caption-text\"'>For illustrative purposes only\n<p>My son also asked about my granddaughter, I hesitated at first, but I shared how she was doing in all those years he missed. I noticed his smile and thought to myself that he still cared for his daughter. That made me comfortable enough to share about the inheritance. His expression changed, and he interrupted me, saying that he wanted to make up with his wife. I felt uneasy all of a sudden.\n</p><p>Days later, my son came back with his wife and started demanding the house for himself. His wife is backing him up, saying things like, \u201cThat girl is too young to handle a house! This belongs to us.\u201d I got confused about why are they demanding things all of a sudden.\n</p><p>My son kept shouting, \u201cI\u2019m your son\u2014you owe me this! I should have a right to this.\u201d I was taken aback by the sudden change in his attitude. It hurts so much to hear him talk this way, especially since he\u2019s had no problem leaving me and his daughter in the past. I asked them to leave because their yelling and shouting had worn me down.\n<figure id='\"attachment_24875\"' aria-describedby='\"caption-attachment-24875\"' style='\"width:' class='\"wp-caption' aligncenter><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' class='\"size-full' wp-image-24875 src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/echowoven.com%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2025%5C/02%5C/An-Inheritance-Dispute-Is-Tearing-Our-Family-Apart-2.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"728\"' height='\"485\"' title='\"\"'><figcaption id='\"caption-attachment-24875\"' class='\"wp-caption-text\"'>For illustrative purposes only\n<p>After that day, they came back while I was having dinner with my granddaughter. I invited them in and asked them to join the dinner too. I can see my granddaughter feeling uncomfortable. My son opened up the inheritance immediately, and my granddaughter was surprised.\n</p><p>I told him that I just said that to let him know that his daughter would be alright because of it. My granddaughter said, \u2018After you abandoned me, you just came back for the inheritance? Not even for me?\u2019 My heart ached after hearing my granddaughter\u2019s words.\n</p><p>My son turned to me and said, \u2018So you\u2019re turning my own daughter against me. If you don\u2019t give the house back, forget that you have a son!\u2019 My granddaughter furiously responded to what he said, \u2018You never acted like a son and even a father to me.\u2019\n</p><p>Meanwhile, his wife complained, \u2018He lost his job because he was stressed about his family. Don\u2019t you care about his well-being?\u2019 I was at a loss, the whole situation was driving me to tears, and my health wasn\u2019t great, so the constant fighting was taking a toll.\n<figure id='\"attachment_24876\"' aria-describedby='\"caption-attachment-24876\"' style='\"width:' class='\"wp-caption' aligncenter><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' class='\"size-full' wp-image-24876 src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/echowoven.com%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2025%5C/02%5C/An-Inheritance-Dispute-Is-Tearing-Our-Family-Apart-3.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"728\"' height='\"485\"' title='\"\"'><figcaption id='\"caption-attachment-24876\"' class='\"wp-caption-text\"'>For illustrative purposes only\n<p>I told my granddaughter how this whole situation happened. She speculated that he just wanted the house now because he was planning to sell it for the money. She also thinks that they fought because of his father being jobless and the way to win her back is by owning the inheritance. I was shocked, I didn&rsquo;t know that my son would do something like that.\n</p><p>I wasn&rsquo;t going to listen to them until I found an old will my late husband wrote, stating that the house should go to our son after I pass away.
