My Grandpa died last April as well as our Dad had to pay for all of the funeral expenses. My Dad has a sister, but my aunt lives about 2,000 miles away in another country. She gave our Dad a list of reasons why she couldn’t help with the funeral expenses or attend the services. Of course, she easily found a way to come to the neighborhood when they read the will. My Grandpa left all of the estate to my father as well as she left her sister as well as seasoned car. My mom’s sister was taken aback as well as devastated as well as she left the lawyer’s office feeling very sad as well as annoyed. I wasn’t surprised when she hired a lawyer of her own to sue for half of my grandfather’s estate. She felt that she was due half of the money no matter what the will stated. My father then was forced to hire an estate lawyer to help with the court case and because of the suit, the money went to probate. It’s 13 weeks later now as well as our aunt is still fighting our Dad tooth and nail. He’s just tying up all of the money with lawyers fees. Every time my father thinks it’s over, the lawyer files another injunction. My Dad even tried to settle, however I assume my aunt is just aggravated that our Grandpa didn’t leave him more. I am thinking it is no longer about the money or the estate. I assume her feelings are hurt as well as this is the only outlet for that betrayal. The temper tantrum over the estate is an extravagant way to grieve for my grandfather.
