After my grandmother on my mother’s side passed away, it sent a ripple effect through the whole family.
Few of us were expecting what happened, however even fewer were expecting what was about to take place.
She died with a good amount of money in the bank plus assets in her ownership. Her estate was worth 25 million dollars, however nearly all of it was pilfered by her second partner. She’s the same age as my mom, plus is the homewrecker who threw the final blow to my Grandparent’s 25 year marriage. It might sound nuts, however my Grandmother said she was in fear of her life just a couple weeks before she passed away. The people I was with and I discovered that she had pneumonia plus her partner had refused any medical care for her. She let her suffocate to death so she could finally get the money she had been after for such a long period of time. When we attempted to battle her in court, she hired a high profile criminal attorney to defend her in a family estate dispute. Who hires a criminal attorney to settle an estate dispute? I felt as though this showed her true colors. Sadly, she prevailed. She paid off my mother’s attorneys plus my disabled plus bed ridden mother was left with basically nothing. This isn’t a fantasy, this actually happened to our family plus I. I pray there is karma in this world, because that lady honestly deserves to be standing in a jail cell. But the thing is, I don’t really know for certain if anything will ever come of it. It’s how the world works—you either wield money plus power, or you’re basically a second class citizen to those who do. When they have enough cash to buy out lawyers, there’s truly no fighting. And there’s nobody in this world who can punish somebody who is essentially so rich they are beyond the law.
