    As a Funeral Director I can attest that it's all about money. Most of the time people don't even wait for the body to get cold and they're already fighting.

      Correct. I cared for my late father and the siblings were disgusting, even prior to his death. I now understand why some people say "family" is the other F word....!

      I 100 percent agree. When my grandmother died in 2017, my cousins literally hours after the funeral took over the house smoking and drinking. My grandmother was a devout Christian that didn't smoke or drink. It pissed me off royally. They are nothing but vipers. Six years later, that house has been totally destroyed by them. I will never forgive them for what they have done. They can rot in hell the lot of them.

      @JohnnytNaturalMoney is not the problem. The problem lies with people with their greed and insatiable appetite for money. So, it’s the inordinate desire for money which is the root of all evil and which brings out all the evil in humanity

      Who else should it go to, a charity, the state? Families fight, that's just what happens but it's still better than ending up as a "donation" to the government.

    Celebs really hold off on having a will. I personally think It's like their own little personal insurance. If I don't have a will, then no one gets anything so no one is in a hurry to knock me off (spouses, ungrateful siblings or kids etc) AND it's a smart way to vet out who's for you FOR REAL.
