They will blow all the money and end selling off all the rights for ready cash upfront. They will all be bankrupt in 5 years.

It doesn’t matter that it was under her couch cushions. The only thing that matters is that it is her last will.

Well done, to the jury. It’s a shame it took five years and a ton of legal fees for something that could have been settled overnight.

Was this will witnessed by a competent and disinterested party?

Despite the more informal nature of the later will, a jury decided that the handwritten will was her valid last will and testament after a two-day trial in probate court that took place in Pontiac, Michigan.

That's why trial by a jury of "your peers" is a damn frightful thing.

Another reminder to get a will drawn up by a lawyer. It’s hard to believe someone like Aretha Franklin didn’t bother to have it done.

Were 400 2020 ballots all marked stright ticket Democrat also found in the sofa? It’s hard to shake a sofa or open a car trunk post-election without some popping out.

I hope everyone understands this is catnip for lawyers. Probate court is the biggest scam going. THE LAWYERS GET THE MONEY. It doesnt take 5 years to settle this. Both sides were working it. They took that estate for everything they could get.
