Have a lawyer draft your Will, then provide a copy to your beneficiaries.

When my wife's Dad passed away, within hours his brothers (who hadn't visited in over a decade) suddenly showed up, pushed his disabled wife aside, and picked the house clean. My wife got an old framed photo of him, which was the only thing they left behind.


I had this same scenario happen when my mom passed. Me and one of my sisters(full sister) got along great with our mom and had a great relationship with her, she was very active in both of our lives on a daily basis. She didnt have a will since she was still very young. But she had told us kids what her plan was if anything ever happened and what her wishes were. Well she suddenly passed unexpectedly and her seperated but not divorced husband came into the picture IMMEDIATELY along with our peice of shit, lazy as fuck good for nothing step sister(from him) came in and talked her dad(our step dad) into not folllowing my moms wishes of putting the house up for sale and having it split 3 ways for my sisters and myself. The money from the sale of the house was supposed to go as a nest egg for us kids to buy our own homes. Houses in the neighborhood sell for around 1.2-2million.

Now our peice of shit 24 year old half sister who has never held a legitimate job, flunked out of college AND beauticians school is living in my childhood home, with her dirtbag peice of shit boyfriend who doesnt even have a job. Which so happens to be a relatively nice home and values around 1.6 mil last time it was appraised. Meanwhile im struggling to buy a home and have honorably served 14 years in the US army with an honorable discharge and a master plumbers license and countless other achievements, my other full sister who is an amazing person, she has 2 kids and a husband and was just recently able to buy a home but has been renting for the last 12 years. My mom passed away 8 years ago now. So all of that rent money could have been saved or put towards a mortgage or savings.

If you cant tell im SUPER bitter about everything and the way it went down, and I know for a damn fact my mom is flipping out watching all of this from above, and its all because she didnt have a will or trust setup. SUPER IMPORTANT to have that all squared away, or things like this happen. Because people are greedy peices of shit sometimes. And its sad to say but its true.
