My grandfather's brother had his father's will changed without the knowledge of his siblings years ago to exclude them. Then most of the legal documents and all records were destroyed by the war and invasion of China by the Japanese. Money and inheritance definitely can bring out the worst in some people and families. There is part of my family that won't talk to the other anymore because of the results of what happened here. I am on the poor side while the other side is living in multi-million dollar properties around the world based on that initial nest-egg.
