When my grandmother past she had a will that evenly distributed the goods to my aunt and uncle. Yet somehow, a new will appeared after her death that was mysteriously dated during the time she was bed ridden and paralyzed on the right side of her body leaving everything to one person. Hmm... very fishy. Well fast forward 15 years later and the aunts and uncles are still contesting the will in court.

For realz. This happens too many times. And granny is still alive - and they were still trying to get at that money?

But, if the family is going to go and show out over the money at the graduation, then perhaps they should stay elsewhere.<br /><br />When my grandparents passed, they left everything to my mother. My grandfather told my mom to keep everything. But she did the right thing and split everything down the middle with her sister. Even though her sister (my aunt) refused to even take care of her parents for two days (even when my mom paid her and her son to do so), while we were on vacay.

Everyone is wrong in this story except the graduate. <br /><br />It's unfortunate how money can cloud family relations and split folks up. <br /><br />After my grandfather passed, my mother's brothers tried to say she was stealing from my grandmother. I was ready to go to bat for her-like literally go get a bat and hurt them because they had hurt my mother, and even my grandmother so much. Everything is cool now, but I do give my uncles and their wives the side-eye sometimes.Amarettohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13102198081380362303noreply@blogger.com
