Everyone thought the woman was own grandmother, but in fact they were not even distant relatives. It all happened like this: the girl’s real grandmother was close friends with the old woman, and the girl often went to visit her grandmother as a child. It so happened that the grandmother died too early, but the old woman stayed with the girl for a long time. It was as if she inherited the girl, roughly speaking. They became the closest people. They cooked jam together, baked delicious cakes and pies, worked in the garden and took care of each other, were there for each other in difficult moments.
The woman had no relatives – no children, no grandchildren, no one … The girl replaced her entire family. She gave her gifts, took care of her as her own granddaughter, even gave her a family heirloom. “Does she have no one else?” – her friend asked. “Well, she has nephews, but her grandmother does not communicate with them much. I called, of course, several times, but they were reluctant to get in touch. You know, and they can be understood. They live in other cities, they have their own problems, and here is an old aunt
They call once a year, but this, as you understand, is too little for relatives… Recently, my mother has been taking care of my grandmother. She often visits her, buys groceries, sometimes pays the utility bills. As a sign of gratitude, my grandmother went and made a will of the apartment to my mother. My mother reacted to this quite negatively: “You have so many relatives… I’m not helping you for the apartment or for money, but purely as a human being. Re-register the apartment for your nephews. This story remained unresolved, my mother does not want to accept the apartment in any way.
Then we offered the grandmother to live with us, but she flatly refused. The other day she called me and said she wanted to make a deed of gift for me, her mother does not accept the apartment under the will. It is important to note that my boyfriend and I are going to get married in a couple of months, but we do not have enough money, because we spend all our salary on a rented apartment. A woman’s apartment would be more than ever useful. I understand that we will not get the apartment right away, but my future husband and I will have at least confidence in the future, because we have been wandering around rented apartments for 4 years, and in the end we have nothing left. On the one hand, I understand that we really need this apartment. My husband also puts pressure on me, saying: “do not offend your grandmother, she wants to make you a gift from the bottom of her heart, and you behave badly towards her”. But on the other hand, my conscience torments me. She still has relatives, even if they do not communicate. They should get the apartment. In addition, you can not build happiness on someone else’s misfortune… In general, I do not know what to do in this situation.
