Anyways, she took us all to court, had a lawyer she paid in sexual favors, and ended up fighting with my brother who eas the executor of the will. She ended up getting all of my Brother's inheritance through some really nasty court wranglings. At one point, she had ALL of the family's band accounts put on hold including business accounts for everyone in the family including my SIL and BIL. This stuff went on for YEARS!

After stories like these, I can see why having a trust is important. A trust doesn't have to go through probate.
