a friends' mom has died.
the sister is wearing the moms wedding set, she took from the hospital. there are family problems because of this.
so the question is
when a mother dies, does her wedding ring set go to the oldest daughter? the youngest?
the first grandchild? the first granddaughter?
thanks.......

I guess it would be too difficult for the mother to tell them before her death who she thinks should receive her rings. Oh yeah by the way, my daughter was the first grandaughter.

how about if her husband lives - doesn't he inherit everything not willed otherwise?

well, yes. I just wasnt' thinking of it like that. i guess because in my case my in-laws were divorced. But yes you're right. My mom died 3 yrs ago and my dad still has all her jewelry. She secretely gave me a ring when she was dying. My dad has said that we do all need to go thru her jewelry sometime. I'm in no big hurry coz it hurts so much still just to go tho their home. I really should though because she had LOTS of it.

The Eldest Daughter should get the Rings and they should be protected until it is decided which piece of jewelry should be given to the Sisters, Sons, Grandchildren and the living decendents. If there is NO Eldest Daughter, it should go to the Eldest Son. But always to the Surviving Spouse First. If the Spouse is Not the Father of the Children, It should always go to the Children first.

when my beloved grandmother died she had one request to be buried with her wedding ring on...it caused a huge brawl I had to go to great lengths to make sure that happen and some family members have not spoken to me since...but i can sleep at night! and I know my grandma Ruth is smiling in heaven!
