I'm glad everything is Settled amicably. I think Such initiative is also taken here by Parents, buv Not all.
Most Parents don't Write thier ''Will'' here, but mostly, Rich Parents does.
But i think, it's one of the wisest decision made by Parents before they die.
Everyone should think about a will in time.
If you are parents, have children, it is not sooo important, because - at least in Germany - the children inherit as closest relatives quasi automatically (and they also do not have to pay as much tax as e.g. a brother, a cousin, a friend...). But there are already more complicated cases in the small circle. My husband and I, for example, are not married and have no children. If one of us dies, our siblings inherit half the house. That would be a strange situation, I think. Yes, yes, we urgently need to draw up a will. It's just something that's all too easy to suppress - we do live forever.... ;-)
Great !!, writing of will is so important. It Could save some lives in the future , thereby avoiding fights.
I have seen a situation over here where a family fights among themselves over their Fathers properties....REASON?...thier Dad didnt right a will.
AND THE WORSE PART?....the ladies left empty handed.., only the few Males who where able to fight among themselves took over everything.
Will is So Important no matter how peaceful a family is before a parent dies!!.
That's what they told me at the local court: "Be sure, you can't imagine what an inheritance does to the best families. But we see it every day."
I think it's a good idea to have it.
Maybe when i begin to acquire some properties, i could write them down gradually..., that's a good step.
