Medical Specialists and their abuse of power

[Bruce]

Jerry, thanks for that sad story. Family farms repeat that sort of tragedy all the time. There are several instances I could relate.

 

I think the lesson is that inheritance should occur at 21 and not when the old guy dies.

Very true Bruce. It's happened to cousins of mine and I have a bit of personal experience as well. Our family farm has been in the family since my great grandfather moved there in 1896. It was steeped in history, and had seen joy and sadness. Family members have been born in and died in that old house. It went from my great grandfather to my grandfather and great uncle, and then to my father. When my dad got old, I gave up work and moved in with him for three and a half years as a full time carer. He was the keeper of all that old family history.

 

When he died, to some it just became real estate. I was promptly told to pack up and leave which I did. I'll never see the old place again as I'm not welcome there. Siblings are allowed to go there, but only if they ring up and arrange a booking in advance. It amazing how the thought of a dollar can change some people when the stabilizing elder passes on.
