That's probably the point. As soon as there is money to be had they'll all come flying back and you'll have to fight them for what is yours.

You do realize the money was there when you looked...?

Inside was a red pen with which she would cross out a photo and write the date of death with, sometimes, a short reminder of how they died. One was killed by her husband while he was shooting birds from the back of their pickup. Another killed in a DUI wreck. Another by insanity. Gruesome.

Yup, I was certainly aware of the practice. The real disquieting aspect was knowing we had all looked at this portrait for literally two generations and been unnerved by it, only to finally have our suspicions quietly confirmed while leafing through the the papers left behind.
<semi-related threadjack>Here's a short film me and a co-worker were producing about an abandoned house he found on his property. Lots of little snippits of someone's life all left abandonded.</semi-related threadjack>

MikeZilla, I know the feeling. My uncle is trashing my grandparents house and my mother wants to sell al of her homes. :cry: She wants to do it to avoid any bickering between myself and the rest of the family. What family?!? I'm the last one she talks to.

I feel your pain Savannah. That sucks even harder because youre the only one thats left. I personally think thats a cop out too. Who knows whats going to happen to the money once they sell it. All my relatives that messed up everything blew all their money, then 2 of them died. The most annoying part is the 2 that died were the ones that were the most adamant about selling the house to someone else. :banghead:
SavannahLion:
That's all that rest of extended family does. Whenever someone dies, they bicker over what's left. Another uncle passed away a few years ago and I was the only nephew not named in the will. Pissed the Hell out of my mom. Siphoned thousands out of the trust in attempt to get me my share. Problem was I didn't give a rats ass about the estate. She didn't seem to understand I would much rather get my grandmothers house and the house I grew up in than some share of a home that was filled to capacity with furniture and I wasn't going to get it anyways.
Donkbaca:
He should have kept it. Legally it was his. The kids didn't get much between them, and they will probably fight over who gets what share, and its not like we are talking about a breadwinner leaving a widow and kids, these are adults. While we don't know why the guy stashed the money, we DO know that the kids didn't care enough about the guys things to even bother looking in the attack.
