Sister Thinks She's ENTITLED To My Trust Fund And Lied To Try And Get It | r/EntitledPeople

[00:00:02] [SPEAKER_00] Hey Waffle Gang, I do hope you're well. My name is Mark and today we're checking out some more Reddit stories. And if you do love a Reddit story, why not consider a like, subscribe, maybe that notification bell too. Let's crack on with today's first story. Much love guys. Now today we're targeting videos from the Entitled People area. And the first one that came up from ReasonableCat5767 from the Entitled People subreddit, it does have an update to it. It says,

[00:00:31] [SPEAKER_00] My sister seems to think she's entitled to my trust fund and lied to try and get it. There's a bit of backstory to this. And I'm not sure what's relevant, but I'm sure you'll tell me if I blather on too much. Mostly I just need to rant.

[00:00:44] [SPEAKER_00] My 38 female family is a little messed up. I essentially have slash had five parents and three different groups of siblings. It's a bit much. As a child, I was living in the US with my adoptive parents and a lot of shit went down that wasn't great. So I moved back to the UK when I was nine. I had a lot of trauma and the beginnings of a rather serious drug problem. And so my US dad set up a trust fund for me before he died. So that anything mental health related was paid for.

[00:01:12] [SPEAKER_00] And I didn't have to stress about being able to sort myself out as I got older. It's been rather handy over the last 30 years. Paying for a home when I was a teenager, therapy, rehab, basically anything needed to help me not die. At some point in my teenage years, I made contact with my biological parents and their other kids and was welcomed back into the fold. Some of my full siblings had issues with this. Fair enough. It was a big change to everyone's lives.

[00:01:40] [SPEAKER_00] My little sister, now early 30s, apparently found it particularly hard. And so we've never gotten along and have been no contact for almost a decade. This has become particularly apparent in recent weeks after she contacted the solicitors who are in control of the trust, pretending to be from a rehab facility in the US. She sent them an invoice for a three month stay requesting payment to the bank account of a friend of hers in the US.

[00:02:05] [SPEAKER_00] The first I heard about this was a phone call from said solicitor's office offering their commiseration that I was due to enter the facility, wishing me luck and double checking the details. I am livid. This is tens of thousands of pounds that she tried to steal from me. Money that she had absolutely no right to. She never met my adoptive parents. She's not owed any money from them.

[00:02:28] [SPEAKER_00] She's lived a perfectly normal life with both of her parents, her other siblings, holidays, uni paid for, no big dramas. And she thinks she can just take from me because she wants to buy a house and thinks I should help her out because I ruined her childhood.

[00:02:43] [SPEAKER_00] Except she can't even just ask. She has to try and steal it. I have no idea what to do about this because if I go to the police, they need to create even more drama in the family that I could do without. And I feel like that's exactly what she wants. Our parents will side with her and she knows it.

[00:02:58] [SPEAKER_00] I don't want to give her the satisfaction, but I'm just so mad that she chose this specific way to try and take what's not hers. It feels like such a low blow. Obviously, she's getting sweet F.A., but what the fuck? ETA because a few people have asked.

[00:03:14] [SPEAKER_00] My father had to bail me out of a shitty situation a couple of years ago, which included getting a flight to another country to come and get me. Obviously, I insisted he accepts reimbursement for his flights despite him not needing the money. So he would have the details of my solicitors and the fund from that time. My sister often visits my parents, so I suspect she would have seen the information in my dad's office at some point. I've clearly never mentioned the fund to any of my siblings.

[00:03:42] [SPEAKER_00] Now, before I say what I'm going to say, it's always easy for me to say this because let's face it, I'm sat behind a microphone behind a screen. I'm not having to deal with Opie's feelings of all this going on, which is going to be a hell of a lot, right? Opie doesn't want the drama and I totally get that. But at the same time, I'd have to say that you should seriously consider reporting that not for the drama, but simply because if she's got the audacity to try what she's trying, she will simply try again if there's no consequences.

[00:04:11] [SPEAKER_00] And let's face it, she's already created the drama. She just did it behind your back while probably knowing that, you know, you'll be too concerned about the family fallout to do anything about it. So there's manipulation on top of a fraud at the same time. And anyone who's defending her because of that, that says more about them in the end, doesn't it really? But a commenter says to Opie, you really should go to the police. If she had the audacity to do this, there is no stopping her from escalating even more.

[00:04:36] [SPEAKER_00] If your parents side with her, there is also useful information you cannot trust them and should be very careful around them. If not, just cut them off. Do not let these people treat you like this. Family or not, you deserve respect. Lala says wire slash bank fraud is a felony. Let your solicitor be the bad guy and go after her. Meanwhile, do whatever is necessary to lock down your personal information. Freeze your credit info. Change all of your passwords. Add an extra level of protection to your trust.

[00:05:07] [SPEAKER_00] The commenter says calling the police is definitely the appropriate thing to do. Does she know you caught on to her attempt at stealing your money? Have you confronted her? If not yet, in passing mentions someone was trying to commit fraud against your trust and your solicitor has caught it. And there's going to be an investigation into who was trying to commit this crime when they do find out the person is going to be in a boatload of trouble. See how she reacts in your family to gauge how they feel not knowing yet it is her. Opie replies saying she doesn't know yet.

[00:05:36] [SPEAKER_00] I asked solicitors for some time whilst I tried to get my head around things before they slash we did anything. I've not had contact with her in years. I wouldn't even know how to get a hold of her without going through my parents. I might speak to them though and mention that someone's tried to defraud me. Then poke around asking a few questions a few days later and see what her reaction was. I have no doubt they'd tell her about it. Could be interesting. Awkward says to Opie,

[00:06:02] [SPEAKER_00] Your request that the trust contact the police and lodge a complaint for charges to be filed for attempted fraud. Fucker. If your parents say anything you can just say that the trustee had made the complaint. Not you. But you see what you can find out. Then after that don't do anything. I'm sorry for your trauma. I'm sorry your sister is an awful bitch. As a side note I had a friend whose sister stole her identity and attempted fraud. She was jailed. She was only jailed because there were multiple previous criminal convictions with zero consequences.

[00:06:30] [SPEAKER_00] She did time and now I see her and her sister on Facebook living their best lives. Overseas or just visiting some fancy resort or partying. Whenever I see pictures of her I get so angry because I highly suspect she stole a diamond ring from me. I spoke with this woman's former mother-in-law who was a client of mine and she told me that this woman likely did steal from me as every single time she was over at any relative's house something went missing. Usually jewelry. Don't let your awful sister get away with what she's done.

[00:07:00] [SPEAKER_00] Opie added an update within the same post before their main update and said updates I guess. So this got pretty overwhelming pretty quickly. I'm balancing getting things done and tied up with not losing my mind which is always fun. So this is a good thing. So this is a good thing. As they are indeed required to do. Turns out I've misunderstood and thought I had to get involved but no. It's all on them. And I'm going to just let what happens happen.

[00:07:25] [SPEAKER_00] I'll be setting up a meeting at some point to go through all of the transactions made over the last 20 years or so. Just to make sure nothing else nefarious has gone on. Thanks everyone for the reassurances on not doing something wrong by wanting this sorted. But I'd appreciate a little less speculation on my life and the role my parents play in it if you could manage that. So Opie does come in with another update and says I don't like to leave a story unfinished. So even if no one is interested I'm just going to leave this here.

[00:07:53] [SPEAKER_00] A final update about my sister feeling like she's entitled to my money and attempting to steal it from me. Previous post here. And shares the link. And says so after months of pretty much just waiting. It turns out absolutely nothing is going to happen. No charges. No consequences. No official acknowledgement beyond a few. We understand your frustration emails. The friend whose bank account my sister tried to funnel the money into has been fully cleared. It would seem that they had no idea what was going on.

[00:08:22] [SPEAKER_00] The police spoke to them early on and it apparently became obvious quickly that they weren't actually involved. The US police won't take it any further because no actual funds were transferred so there was no financial loss. And because my sister is in the UK. The UK police have closed their side of things as well because the US cops aren't interested. So she just gets away with being an arse once again I guess. So that's that. Nine months of paperwork and stressful meetings with solicitors and one minor, ha, mental breakdown.

[00:08:52] [SPEAKER_00] Only to be told is essentially gone nowhere. Which is pretty anger inducing but also kind of expected. Somehow that woman gets away with bloody everything. We haven't spoken and we won't. I'm not sure what my parents involvement with her is these days. But I know they won't be expecting us to be in the same room as one another again. So I guess that's some level of support. No contact prevails.

[00:09:15] Woo.

[00:09:16] [SPEAKER_00] And there was just a lot of frustration for Opia in the comments that she seemed to get away with it. But some people were saying you know the small win was that she was entirely unsuccessful getting the money. And at least she's no contact and having nothing to do with her etc etc. But what do you guys make of this situation? Let us know your thoughts down in the comments below. And let's move on to another story. This story comes from OK Combination 475. And it says,

[00:10:45] [SPEAKER_00] At that point she was angry. And still felt entitled to my income. After I kicked her out of my place. She claimed she was forced to quit her job because I forced her to relocate. And then she tried to sue me for lost wages. Which didn't work out in her favor. You'd think she'd stop at this point but she didn't. She contacted my work and threatened to sue them stating Your employees actions cost me everything. And tried to insist they settle outside of court with her for $100,000.

[00:11:14] [SPEAKER_00] She didn't make that much money. Instead my work filed for harassment charges against her. You'd think she'd stop at that point. But she didn't. She started messaging every family member of mine that she could find. Told them I cost her everything out of spite. Just because she moved on with someone else. And that the least they could do is send her money to help her get a place and pay rent. When that didn't work. She went online and begged for people to send money to her cash app. To help her with a place to live.

[00:11:43] [SPEAKER_00] And claimed it was a domestic violence situation. I don't understand how she doesn't understand that any financial support I gave her would end if she cheated on me. We weren't married. We don't have kids. I've supported her for years. I owe her nothing. I really don't owe it to her to help her and her new relationship get on their feet and establish themselves. Which seems to come as a shock to her. Lonster says Keep records and recordings of everything.

[00:12:10] [SPEAKER_00] I wouldn't be surprised if she started trying to get the law involved by making abuse allegations. Opie says You are correct. She did try it. Posted pictures of herself in the hospital and claimed I attacked her. Luckily I have ring cameras that showed me at home all day the day she claimed I attacked her. She didn't even call law enforcement. Just posted it for sympathy. And included the hospital pics in her messages to my family. When she was asking them for money. Man it was kind of like Not harmless.

[00:12:39] [SPEAKER_00] But it was kind of Low key Like where she was asking for money Because to get her and the new guy on the feet You're just thinking You bloody cheeky so and so Until it comes to like The domestic violence claims You think Gee whiz That can cause all sorts of shit for you So I hope Opie did shut that down really quickly Because we've seen it in these stories We've seen it in real life People throwing around claims like that can really mess with your life But what do you guys make of this one? Let us know your thoughts down in the comments below

[00:13:09] [SPEAKER_00] Let's move on to another story From UK840 And it says Double wedding disaster Friends ruined their wedding But not ours I38 male Have been married to Mike 35 male for 3 years Together for 12 years We were very quiet Nerdy Nature loving guys Not into flashy displays Or drama at all It was the tail end of the pandemic And since the borders were partially open

[00:13:38] [SPEAKER_00] We decided to road trip to Gibraltar And elope The pandemic was a great excuse Not to invite anyone to our wedding And just do what we wanted When we told our lesbian friends Di, 45 female And Anne, 60 female What we were doing They decided on the spot We were going to have a double wedding And immediately started taking over Suggesting a bunch of trashy Expensive things we didn't want This is the story of how they attempted to ruin our wedding

[00:14:08] [SPEAKER_00] And only ruined theirs 1. We initially decided that We'd get a rental car together And split it four ways With Mike and Di splitting the driving A month before the wedding Di and Anne decided it'd be cheaper to take the train Well, six trains actually Across three countries I immediately said no And it turned out Di didn't even have a driver's license And had been driving illegally for years Mike offered to do all the driving

[00:14:36] [SPEAKER_00] If they split the rental car with us They declined because it was too expensive And took the train instead Obviously, it went terribly for them Trains were cancelled Tickets were lost And they missed out on an entire night in Gibraltar Because they were stuck at a random train station In the Spanish countryside Mike and I had a wonderful road trip And spent a magical night in an Airbnb In Cartagena on the way Their train tickets cost more than half of the rental car

[00:15:05] [SPEAKER_00] Two, we initially agreed to get a really fancy Airbnb In Gibraltar With a hot tub and all that stuff Split four ways We could get something really nice Well, Anne decided she wanted a real hotel And pulled out of the Airbnb plan I found a gorgeous little one bedroom place for us With a hot tub And a view of the sea Di and Anne forgot to book a real hotel And ended up in a freaking awful place by the port

[00:15:32] [SPEAKER_00] Like a place for merchant sailors to crash while they're in port It was on a busy roundabout opposite Burger King There was no bath, no balcony And it was basic as fuck It was more expensive than our lovely place They got no sleep because of the drunk sailors and traffic noise They didn't even get any tells provided Three, the night before the wedding we met for dinner They'd barely been in Gibraltar for two hours Whereas we'd been relaxing since the day before

[00:16:00] [SPEAKER_00] At dinner, things were tense But Di was really trying At some point she signaled to the restaurant host And the lady came over with a super fancy VIP bucket of champagne on ice She popped the cork and gave it to Di Who handed it to Anne saying Just like the one I gave you in New York, baby It was clearly supposed to be a romantic moment Anne refused the cork And we all smiled nervously to try and smooth things over The host poured two glasses of the champagne

[00:16:29] [SPEAKER_00] And gave the glasses to Di and Anne Anne took a sip and immediately spat it out Announcing loudly, it's corked We all tried the champagne and told her it was delicious Mike and I don't really drink But we know what champagne tastes like Anne insisted the champagne was corked And loudly announced that they wouldn't be paying for it The host was pissed And I understood why when she told us It was £750 a bottle She threatened to call the police

[00:16:58] [SPEAKER_00] So Di sheepishly paid for it Anne sulked the rest of the night I was so embarrassed And our whole evening was spoiled When we got back to our Airbnb To take a bubble bath and eat Jaffa cakes I told Mike there was no way I was going to allow them To ruin another minute of our trip But if they wanted to ruin theirs That wasn't my problem 4. The actual weddings went off okay Apart from the fact that they were still drunk from the night before The registry office was nice And I married the man in my dreams

[00:17:28] [SPEAKER_00] Afterwards we bought them brunch To soak up the booze And faithfully walked them around the park Taking lovely photos of them Di had a finger over the lens of every picture she took of us When we were done They suggested we all go to the pub and get wasted As if We dropped them off at the pub and went our separate ways I was honest and just told them I want to be alone with my husband They couldn't really argue with that 5. The wedding dinner

[00:17:55] [SPEAKER_00] Mike, Di and I all had fairly casual preferences For a restaurant for the wedding dinner But Anne insisted on a fine dining fish restaurant That didn't even serve dessert I outright refused I didn't eat fish at all And Anne was insisting on the fish restaurant So we decided not to meet up Anne also tried to convince us to chip in 200 pounds For a custom wedding cake to get delivered to the restaurant But we said hell no Mike and I went to the best steakhouse in Gibraltar

[00:18:24] [SPEAKER_00] I had a 1.2 kilo steak And an amazing cheesecake for dessert We had a lovely time And the wait staff went out of their way to spoil us Around 8pm they messaged us Where are you? And we ignored the message As it turned out Anne forgot to make reservations And the fish restaurant was fully booked But they couldn't leave and go somewhere else Because they had to wait for the cake to be delivered They ended up taking the cake back to their shitty hotel And eating it with their credit cards

[00:18:52] [SPEAKER_00] Because they didn't even have cutlery and plates in their room They got hammered that night on supermarket vodka Mike and I had the perfect evening We got a taxi home Smoked weed on our balcony Watched the stars And kissed for hours 6. The next day Mike and I set for our day of hiking In the UNESCO World Heritage Site National Park It was the best day ever Mike got robbed and bitten by a monkey Which was fucking hilarious We ate a full English breakfast In the Sky Restaurant

[00:19:21] [SPEAKER_00] And explored St. Michael's Cave Unforgettable memories were made Guy and Anne fought Decided it was Gibraltar's fault And spontaneously decided to leave They booked a beach resort Up the coast somewhere in Spain And headed on foot to the train station The trains were all messed up They got stranded somewhere in Spain With all their luggage And it took them 14 hours to get to the resort They arrived at 11pm And were checking out the next morning 7. Mike and I spent a few more nights Enjoying our honeymoon

[00:19:51] [SPEAKER_00] And then road tripped somewhere home We stayed in the same little place In Cartagena on the way back And the host threw us a little surprise party It was magical Di and Anne got stranded again on the way home Lost half their luggage And caught COVID Oh my word Those two would absolutely Do my nutting Whilst quietly chuckling to myself That they're fucking up their own wedding What do you guys make

[00:20:20] [SPEAKER_00] Of this situation? Let us know your thoughts And let's move on to Another story Now this story comes from The Entitled People Subreddit from WisdomofPearl Who says Entitled Thanksgiving Guest Wants to Come By The Day After And Get Some of the Leftovers Usually My husband and I Travel for Thanksgiving But this year There was a concert The day after Thanksgiving That we wanted to attend So we stayed home And hosted a small Thanksgiving dinner

[00:20:50] [SPEAKER_00] For friends and family 8 people total I extended an invite To my cousin Janice Female 44 Whom I rarely see Or speak to Even though she lives Less than 30 minutes away Janice came She arrived less than 5 minutes Before I told her We were going to eat And she left Before we even had pie She was on her phone During the blessing And most of the time She was there When she announced That she was leaving I asked if she wanted To take home a meal Because I was going to have

[00:21:19] [SPEAKER_00] Plenty of leftovers She said no Not now I'm going to go home I'm going to meet a friend At the movie theater I thought this was A little rude But I didn't see anything And she left Without really saying Goodbye to anyone Friday late afternoon Slash early evening My husband and I Are heading out To the concert And my phone rings It's Janice She wants She fucking Cheeky bastard She wants She wants to swing By the house And get some leftovers For the Thanksgiving dinner

[00:21:48] [SPEAKER_00] I was totally gobsmacked I told her no We were already Heading to the concert And we were not home She literally asked If we would come back So she could get Some leftovers She was miffed When I said no We're not turning around now Just so she could get Some leftovers I told her If she wanted leftovers She could have taken them When they were offered I've not heard anything Any other family members But I'm sure I will at least hear From her mother My aunt But most of the family Including my aunt

[00:22:17] [SPEAKER_00] Already know that Janice has never been Known for her manners Also I will not be inviting Janice To any other events That I host Absolutely Bloody Cheeky So and so The absolute Audacity Of Janice Imagine being like that At someone's table That someone's Graciously Offered to host Even offered Their leftovers On the spot But then has the Bloody cheek To phone up afterwards And basically Sod anyone else Who's got anything To say about it You've basically

[00:22:46] [SPEAKER_00] Got truth on your side Here I kind of imagine The scenario Well I like to imagine The scenario If OP did say That she could Come round for leftovers Can you imagine What she'd be like I bet she'd stand At the door Wait for her plate And then just sod Off straight away Without a thank you Without a kiss My ass or anything I can guarantee That's what she Would be like Holy moly But what do you Guys make Of this Situation Have you ever Hosted someone At a dinner And they turned Out to be Spectacularly rude Let us know Your thoughts

[00:23:16] [SPEAKER_00] And let's move On to another Story It's titled Neighbor complaining About a home Improvement Projects While he's sitting On tons of land And a perfect house My husband and I Bought a small house With a bit of land About a decade ago Intending to improve Slash add on to the house To make it our own We do not currently Have a garage Or any outbuildings And we are working To build a pole barn And addition to the house We have a neighbor Who literally owns All of the land Around our property

[00:23:45] [SPEAKER_00] And has double The size of ours Along with a pole barn Cabin And a pond Ever since my husband Began the work For our home Improvements We've gotten Nothing but complaints From this neighbor When my husband Was clearing trees To make room For the pole barn This neighbor Questioned the property Lines And whether or not Certain trees Were actually his We made sure To consult the Order of the maps Well in advance Of this And were mocked When we told him That we measured And we know Beyond a shadow Of a doubt That the trees Were well within Our property lines

[00:24:14] [SPEAKER_00] He then complained About us cutting Down trees In general We love trees And don't want To cut any down If we don't have to Unfortunately It's necessary If we want To have a pole barn For outdoor storage Also trees Had to be cut down To build this Neighbor's buildings So I found this To be infuriating And audacious On his part Now this neighbor Is complaining About how our Pole barn Might displace water And cause flooding On his land Apparently Unbeknownst to him His land

[00:24:44] [SPEAKER_00] Hasn't flooded In years now Because my neighbor Dredged a creek And installed A culvert pipe That allows for Better water flow And drainage Had nothing to say To that when My husband Pointed it out My husband Also explained His plans For a certain Drainage system That would prevent The issue regardless My husband Works in construction And knows what He's doing We have the permits We are within The required number Of feet Of the property Lines And we've paid To get the property Officially surveyed It's just frustrating To deal with

[00:25:13] [SPEAKER_00] Such condescension And selfishness He's had his house With all of his Land and buildings Why can't we make Our own house The way we want it Obviously we're going To do what we want Since it's our property It would just be nice If we didn't have to Deal with this nonsense Every step of the way My first question was What was a pole barn I thought a barn's Just a barn right But yeah So I'll shove A picture on the screen Sorry podcast users But yeah It's just a massive barn By looks of it And according to Google Please take this

[00:25:43] [SPEAKER_00] With a pinch of salt Because you never know It says It's a simple And inexpensive Agricultural Or residential structure Built by embedding poles Directly into the ground To support the roof And this guy Just wants to moan Doesn't he He's basically Already got everything Now he's being Really territorial About someone else Improving their setup And it seemed Every time He countered One of his arguments He'd come up With something else And he would just Continue to do this Until you eventually Just have to tell him Look mate You need to piss off Now you're starting To do my head in

[00:26:14] [SPEAKER_00] One of the top comments On this one said Typical NIMBY behavior Look all construction After their own I believe NIMBY is Not in my backyard If I'm not mistaken Mandy says I think he was happy There was no neighbor And nothing you could do Will help him He has to come to terms With it I have a parcel next to me That is just woods I've offered to buy it Several times But the little old lady Doesn't know how much To set it for So there it just sits And I feel someone Coming in And developing it

[00:26:42] [SPEAKER_00] I think that is What is fueling him And I think the majority Of people on the back Of this one Either said Just act like he doesn't exist Or just completely Ignore him Don't pay no attention And just carry on Doing what you're doing That person's just Going to continue To do what they do And they'll eventually Get over it Possibly But what do you guys Make of this Situation Have you ever had Any neighbor drama Like that With property lines We see it quite often Well we used to see it Often in these stories

[00:27:12] [SPEAKER_00] In the entitled people Subreddit Not sure what it is About property lines That gets me excited But it certainly does But let us know Your thoughts down In the comments below Now just a huge Thank you From the bottom of my heart For getting involved In today's stories Your love Your support Your time It always means The absolute world to me So thank you so so much And hopefully I'll see you In the next one Take care And much love
