Coping with a death in the family is generally not easy. There’s the emotional aspect of grief. And there are the practicalities that need to be sorted. Then, of course, there’s honoring their last wishes, which often come in the form of a will and testament.
One woman caused quite a bit of confusion when she cut her son out of her inheritance and left his share to her granddaughter instead. She also penned an explosive letter before her death, unearthing a long-held family secret that her son had been keeping all along. The granddaughter is torn between keeping her inheritance and the dark secret, or sharing it with her father and brother. She turned to the internet for advice. Bored Panda reached out to Dale Sperling, the CMO of Trust & Will, a company specialising in estate planning. He gave us his opinion on the matter.
