If it is some kind of automatic inheritance kicking in at this age, then it's another plot contrivance because 18 is considered a more landmark age than 19. Also, if his Mom's totally split from her family as seems to be implied, why would they have some sort of auto-inheritance/trust fund set up for him, especially when they probably don't even know he exists? I suppose it could be the Mom's own money that was tucked away somewhere unbeknownst to her family or even Neil, but that still gets back to the plot contrivance of it kicking in now.
This is why I think it feels more like his family have become aware of him because he's attending B&R and they want to meet with him to make amends for how they treated his Mom by welcoming him into the family and offering him money.
Sorry for that, but it seems to me pretty strange to talk about the MC's age "cause I am quite sur we don't know how old he is.
For example, in France, before to go to college, a lot of kids are generally under 18 years of age. We graduate from high school at 17 years old. If we don't flunk before, of course.
Are we absolutely sure he'll turn 19 ?
