I dont get it, if Judges get to decide how to divide up assets of the deceased then whats the point in even doing a Will?

If the guy was an ass and wanted to stiff his daughters by not giving them any of his estate then thats his business, his reasons why are irrelevant, and some Judge's opinion of those reasons seems like shaky ground.

How did the Judge find out what buddy's reasons were? Did he ask the guy?

People make Wills in order to avoid this exact set of circumstances, the Will clearly states how he wants his assets divided, so divide them that way and move along.

It has nothing to do with 4 daughters get nothing and the only son gets something, it has to do with 5 siblings involved and 4 getting cut out for whatever reason. The gender, again, is irrelevant.

I dont believe that the Judge should have the right, or the authority to do this. He is effectively breaching a legal contract and saying its cool because hes a Judge and knows better.
