Where there's a will...
...there is usually a load of money grabbing family members. Saw this story on the BBC today about a multi-billionairess Leona Helmsley who expressed a desire to leave her money to dog charities.
She left a $12m (£6m) inheritance to her pet dog, Trouble, explicitly leaving out two of her grandchildren.
Shock horror!
The piece paints Ms Helmsley as a mean person but so what? It's her money and she's entitled to do what the hell she likes with it.
I find it really distasteful when families manouevre and circle like vultures over potential legacies. Even more so when people assume they are entitled to something and count on getting that money.
Good for her I say and I hope the whole lot goes to the doggies.

hehe, though if i was her son or daughter, i wouldn't rule out murder, before she signed off her will. i'm not sure if you sign wills though.
