Mam, Dad… You Sold My Inheritance! Episode 600

Today, Niall is joined by property expert Karl Deeter to unpack a family dilemma that’s struck a nerve with listeners.

We received an email from a furious listener whose parents have decided to sell their €500,000 family home and downsize to a rental apartment, saying they want to enjoy the money during their retirement. The problem? The listener is still living with them along with her young child after a divorce — and she feels her parents are “robbing her of her home and inheritance.”

She believes their decision is selfish and morally wrong. But are her parents actually doing anything wrong?

Together, Niall and Karl dig into the emotional, financial, and ethical sides of the debate:

👉 Do parents have a responsibility to pass the family home on to their children?

👉 Or is it their house, their money, and their right to enjoy it while they can?

👉 What does Irish property law, inheritance reality, and modern retirement actually say?

A conversation that touches on entitlement, independence, family expectations, and the harsh realities of housing in Ireland today.
