will disputes (1 Viewer)

[flashback]

Yeah.
This sort of thing is pretty bad.
I sort of wrote something there, but I just can't post it.
Similar-ish sort of thing, except the party that stands to make money is the solicitor, so people are being told to do things that are not in their best interest at all.

Its basically fucked.
Me being in bleeding NYC is not making matters any more straight forward.

Bad buzz will heads. This must be how Charlamagne's kids felt. Makes me glad that I'll remain in the lap of squalor no matter who dies.

 

[Johnnyc]

that sounds hideous. take them down!

But if you kill those people, they might have wills too. Vicious circle. Better to nuke the entire planet really.

My family was also involved in a "bad" will situation. Certain people don't speak to certain people anymore. It looks like a fact of life. Some people will just get rubbed up the wrong way because they get X when someone else gets Y.

I'm an only child, so don't have to compete with others when it comes to the family home (when my folks pass away in the hopefully very distant future), but if some fucker tried to latch onto my 90yr old senile parent in their final years and take said property from, I'd be fit to murder them.

Irish people and land are a bad mix.

About 15 years ago my uncle was short of cash and asked my folks for a loan (he's my mum's brother). My dad liked the uncle and didn't want to have him in debt to him so instead made the proposal that he'd buy a part of a (large) field off him in case it got to the point where they decided that they'd like to move down to where my mum is from. Uncle says grand.

My uncle never sorted out the transference of ownership (sure we're family) and eventually got cancer and died a few years back. When he was diagnosed he meant to change his will to indicate that he was leaving that section of the field to my folks (as opposed to us buying it which is actually happened) but deteriorated so rapidly that he didn't do it. In fairness to his widow she's not trying to shaft my parents or anything I don't think but the whole situation is dragging out like mad, he's been dead 3 years at this point and we want to get it sorted because there's a local developer hanging around like a fucking vulture wanting to buy up the land and build houses on it which is fair enough and I can't blame my aunt for wanting to sell as she needs something to live on and won't be working the land herself but she can't really sell while there's a little bit of limbo over the ownership because I wouldn't trust the prick builder to start eating into the section of the field that's ours when he brings the JCB's in.

Imagine that fucker had nothing at all to do with your parent, other than he represented them for their divorce.
And now is trying to take everything, including their house, from them.
Imagine that this fucker is able to make that parent think that this is in everyone's best interest.

I dunno who i'll leave my collection of old Amiga Power magazines to. Might just let them squabble over it.

 

[Lord Damian]

thanks folks - i'm almost glad to know it's more of a normal situation than i thought.

thanks folks - i'm almost glad to know it's more of a normal situation than i thought.

Unfortunately, it's incredibly common. It doesn't make dealing with it any easier when it happens, though. Hope it gets better, and I hope it doesn't put strain on any of the relationships you really value. It's always much harder when things like this end up leaving bitterness between people where there wasn't really any before.

 

[Lord Damian]

it's all a bunch of rancid shit. this experience is making me question the worthiness of human interaction and, indeed, humans being.

This is why robots will take over the earth.

 

[Anthony]

human interaction is overratted.

Jesus.
Whenever I think my job is pointless bullshit with no social value.....I thank God I'm not a fucking lackey for a reality TV company, and it cheers me up a bit.

 

[nooleen]

what a terrible idea

course there'll be a 10-page thread about what happens on it when it broadcasts..

[shower another shower]

Worst idea ever.

so what happened here? if it wasn't in the will, there's nothing to be done about that, but did you folks manage to make out an implied trust of land? normally trusts of land require some signed written evidence to enforce it though... i think in English law your dad would lose out here, but could maybe try for equitable restitution from the proceeds of the aunt's property sale...

yes, i'm training to be a solicitor.
no, just in legal aid immigration and asylum law, but you have to learn all this crap too for some reason.

We got it all sorted out in the end, transfer for ownership took place last year. It was amicable, just slow, I genuinely believe that there was no bad intent on the part of my aunt.
