okka north Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 I am watching this programme and just find it really sad how families behave when someone dies. This woman who wasn't married with a kid to this bloke she lived with had to contend with her dead blokes family rangling over money. Oh heck, are people really like that. As far as people whinging about not coping with getting a few million, I am not going to comment, but are families really so awful when someone dies?

Claireabell6 Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 I won't go into detail but I saw it when my grandparents died. I wish there were more nice people in this world......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeG Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 What disgusted me was the brother of a gay woman who said he would only let her have the 250K settlement if she denied ever having an 18 year loving relationship with her late partner. Refused to recognise she ever existed etc. Sick. She refused to do this and got the money through the courts. At a cost to her mental health no doubt. The man must represent the epitome of avarice and evil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent Orange Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Greed makes people do bad things. Should I have any money when the time is near for me to leave this mortal coil then I will give it all to charity and share all my items of sentimental value amongst my children (should I have any).

Tal Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 I'd like to think that's it's the stress of losing a loved one that makes people behave like this, but I'm not sure that's entirely it, sadly..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
