Trivia S5: S1
Your 90-year-old grandfather entrusts you with N90 million cash on his deathbed, making you swear to "keep it safe for him." The next morning, he passes away peacefully in his sleep. As the family gathers for the reading of the will, the lawyer reveals there's no mention of this money in official documents. Your uncle claims the cash belongs to the estate, while your aunt insists it was clearly a gift. The banker says without paperwork, the money could be considered undeclared income. Meanwhile, you recall your grandfather's exact words: "This is for you to keep... for me."
Debate: Was this a secret gift, an inheritance loophole, or an ethical test? Does "for him" mean it's still his posthumously? Should you disclose it or honor his private request?
There is no need to make mention of the money since it was not mentioned on the will and since it was entrusted to me there should be a reason why my grandfather give it to me personally so it's his own way of gifting
ReplyDeleteThat's my opinion
I am not to disclose it but to honor the promise made to my grandfather. I believe it is an ethical test. Because if he wanted it known he could have easily revealed it to his lawyer or given me instructions on how to tell others about it
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, it is a secret gift. It is not meant to be kept posthumously as the dead has no use of money. The decision to disclose or honor the grandfather's request is solely mine

In my own opinion, it's a secret gift and my grandfather must have had an unfinished business that were interrupted by his passing and "for him" he wants me to hold onto it for a specific purposes or beneficiary.
ReplyDeleteIt is a secret gift and I am supposed to hold on to the money as instructed
