You guys will have to forgive me a rant but I'm in desperate fucking need of one. I fucking hate family! Seriously. They're a bunch of fucking vultures!

So mom died February the 15th. Back when dad died shit was pretty simple. He had left a will that was pretty cut and dry. Mom got it all with me and my brother as having power of attorney for most things. Not that I gave a shit. My brother ran it all. I took care of shit like the taxes, bank account reconciliations, all the paper work shit that needed to be done. It was a good arrangement. You guys know the last thing on earth I ever wanted to do was be a fucking farmer. So when mom died it's like somebody rang the dinner bell and a bunch of fucking distant family I don't even know or haven't seen in fucking years comes crawling out of the woodwork wanting their piece. Piece of what assholes? I don't even fucking know you! It all started when my brother called telling me there's some guy there says he's an uncle and he wanted dad's truck.

Ever since then it's been a non stop parade of people wanting something. Two of them even filed a lawsuit trying to get a cut of things. I've been in and out of court for the last 4 months fighting these fuckers. It's cost the estate about 36,000 dollars so far fighting them all off. I've still got one more left that the hearing is on July 21st to settle. It's from a second cousin that worked for one fucking summer on the farm when he was a kid and he's wanting a 10% cut of the value.

Can you believe that shit? My dad gives him a summer job 20 years ago and now the fucker wants what amounts to a hundred thousand dollars for it. What the actual fuck? I swear it's taken all I've had to not just start shooting these mother fuckers!

Sorry. Rant over.

I hate it for you. I truly do. I've seen this happen to people many times. It's part of why I'm glad I have no family.

I have a dear friend that's well to do and inherited a good bit of money as did her siblings. They're already arguing over who gets what when one of the brother's dies. (He's not well at all.)

I've never understood the concept of arguing over money that doesn't belong to you. I never will.

I remember years ago talking to a cousin of mine who we always called an uncle because he was so much older. He had put an entire HVAC system into the house of this old man he was related to. (Not sure of the exact relation, but I think it was a great uncle.)

So after he passed away, my cousin went over to lock the house up. It had already been looted, right down to the entire HVAC system he had installed a couple of years before.

People are greedy. They always have been. And you're right, they are for the most part vultures. They see a dead carcass and they instantly swoop in to see what tidbits they can get before anybody else does.

At any rate, it is good to see you again. Hope you get all this crap behind you soon.

Well the last of the assholes has been dealt with. It's finally all over. We're out about 11000 dollars in legal fees but we have judgements for them to pay it all. Maybe now I can try to get back to a normal fucking life.
