Quote From: elliethinWhat a terrible injustice. You are accusing a woman, who stopped her life, to take care of her aunt, when no one else would, of being a criminal.
CHANGING WILLS IS THE PERFECT CRIME.
That might be true in other cases, but not this one. Why didn't you let Linda talk about what life was like taking care of Virginia? In less you've done it, you have absolutely no idea how much effort it takes.
It seems that if anyone "manipulated" Virginia, it would be Carol. Why did Aunt Virginia want to leave so much to one child?
Instead of chastising Linda, why didn't you support the fact that after living with her, Aunt Virginia made a much more reasonable decision regarding her Will?
Linda, don't let your sister take away anything that you did for your aunt. Continue to do the "right thing". Very few people these days are willing to do that. You and your family, in giving to Virginia, also received in sharing Virginia's life, both current and past. That is something that your sisters will never know. I'm positive that Aunt Virginia is looking down, smiling with love and thanks for what your family did for her, while at the same time, rolling her eyes up in her head at what your sisters are doing. I'm sure if there was any questions in Aunt Virginia's mind about making the changes to her will, she is now very aware that she made the right choice.
I'm wondering about Barbara. Did she give her extra $62,000.00 to Carol?
DR. PHIL, IF YOU WANT TO DO A STORY ON THE PERFECT CRIME, WHY NOT FIND A FAMILY THAT THE PERSON DYING, CHANGED THEIR WILL FROM A REASONABLE DIVISION AMONG THE FAMILY, TO LEAVING EVERYTHING TO ONE FAMILY MEMBER (OR OUTSIDE THE FAMILY) WHO CHOSE NOT TO CARE FOR OR SPEND TIME WITH THEM.
I found that to be equally offensive. Linda took this woman into her home. The others did not. Why on earth would she give all her money to 1 neice anyway? That neice did not even take care of her at the end of her life. IF someone was going to leave you 400 G's wouldn't you be sure to look after her in her old age? Carol should have given the "disputed" money to her sister Barbara- She did not worry about "fairness" $62,000 worth. She is just a pot stirrer. These sisters enjoy drama!
You all should quit the drama, enjoy the generous gift that Aunt Virginia left fairly and equally. The poor mother of these 4 girls. It makes me happy to have 5 boys!
