A cousin of mine 'invested' my grandmother's estate, for which he got a fine commission. When she died, there was a small and weirdly totalled cheque* and a complete lack of transparency regarding what went on and extraordinary aggression in response to polite enquiries. You know, they forget I'm the clever one...some people are such weasels.Absolutely crazy.
My Dad's Mum sold off his inheritance cheaply too. He was most upset once all the financial details were sorted out after her death. He and his brother were told by their father that they would inherit a parcel of land across the road from the house. After grandfather's death, Nana sold off that land very cheaply without telling them and she moved into another house closer to the town centre. Years later, she died in a nursing home. There was very little money left.
* The sort of number you make up to make it seem real, but fails to convince.
