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.
💔🤥💰⚰️😢🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I never thought of a Funeral Director as a fun job.
The things you must have seen...
Funerals really bring out the vultures.
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.
It's sad how money divides family.
You begin to wonder why adults fight over property they never worked for and end up creating feuds that will span generations
@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
@@danielchukwu4212 GREAT point!
@@danielchukwu4212PERFECTLY said, again, Sir! 💖
@@danielchukwu4212For the love of money.
Why people don’t get their house in order before death is shocking!
Maybe she didn’t want to cause any drama and she will be dead upon the found handwritten
She had extreme trust issues with professionals and anyone else handling her money. She would sign all her checks.
It’s very very common though because people always think they will have time later. Do you have your affairs in order?
@mac979s1 a formal will does a lot more to prevent drama than a handwritten one hidden away.
@@mac979s1 maybe
Lazy and greedy sons who can’t eat from their own sweats. Why should families fight over property they never worked for?
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.
Amen. 😢
Toldly agree it is really sad how it brake up so many behind 💰 may Aretha Franklin sip💔🕊️
A mega star doesn't have a will drawn up by a lawyer? Unbelievable.
Not the first. Not the last. Aretha absolutely had trust issues! Lawyers are known for sleazy behavior.
It really is. She was always cash-focused, but still.
This is so ghetto. Those kids are gonna have that money spent and house tore up and boarded up in no time. Sad.
You said, "boarded up"! 🤣🤣🤣
Well, it's VERY possible, being that IT IS Detroit! So...🤷
How do you know that?
Everyone wants financial success to give their kids "what I never had." But this is what it turns those kids into.
True test of family. Unfortunately most will fail, dismally.
When it comes to settling an estate, family will F you faster than a stranger.
Been there
deep
That's the truth! Friends treat you better than family.
To me it is so very DISGUSTING when family members fight over money and possessions after the death of a loved one.
Sad the family could not work this out without a legal battle.
Amen......😢
Lawyers win. Plenty to go around. Greed is pathetic
Shameful that her sons made a private matter public because of their lack of maturity.
How Petty . Share equal all her sons . FFS
wow a hand written note with no lawyer present or witness.
People Get On My Nerves, Share It And Move T. F. On🤨🤦
Let her rest.
Logic says yes, 2014 decisions should supersede decisions made two years before. - common sense! A judge should not decide for her - even if they feel it is wrong or unjust.
They could of settled this
When it comes to money, folks are NEVER rational, unfortunately.
Yes, they could have - had they been adults.
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.
Intentional, as I previously stated 🧊
Aretha was such a powerhouse. Everybody around her should be very thankful for being in her presence.🙏 money is now stronger than family in peoples lives in tears families apart😢
I guess family reunions won't be the same after this.💰💰💰💰💰🤔
Oh for heavens sake… split everything equally!
Even Big Mike was super excited😅
the best thing you can do is leave everything in clear firm order
Found in her couch? Lol ok Aretha 😂
I dont believe it.
@@My2CentsYall do tell?
@@My2CentsYall dont believe it. This case will be used to steal a familys wealth for the state, wait and WATCH!!!
@@nenej12 its a non-notarized piece of paper, no witnesses or legal council or anything - sets a scary prescient for future cases, you could basically just make something on paper. - oh yeah, sorry Mom and Dad left me everything, here is a crumpled up napkin I found that says so. lol....
@@My2CentsYall Believe it. She trusted NO ONE to handle her financial affairs. As a matter of fact, it's said that she'd keep whatever payment she'd get for a performance, IN CASH, IN HER PURSE, which she'd ALWAYS carry with her DURING her performances.
🤷
Financial planning is important! Everyone should have one in place
One In!
