Son Empties Out Estate So Ungrateful Family Ends Up With A “Useless” Will

Parents seldom discuss inheritance with their adult children.

And they really ought to do it more often since disputes and disagreements can cause a lot of headaches for the inheritors.

This man found out that his father didn’t leave him any financial assets and made his wife and three other sons the benefactors. So, he sold all the loans his father had taken from him and essentially drowned his stepfamily in debt. Still, he wondered whether he was the jerk in this situation and could have handled it differently.

A father wrote his first son out of his will and left everything to his second family
