the church got their house which would have been equivalent to their super fund
The house was never theirs to lose my friend.
The only entitlement one should expect is from their own hard work.
Did you notice the article at all.
And to quote Aussie from the original thread - Quote:
Mrs Kolandt and her brother, Giacomo Muto, have launched a Supreme Court action against the religious order, claiming their mother did not make "adequate provision" for them in her will.
That means there is no attack on the Mother's testamentary capacity, and no suggestion of other nasty stuff.
And freediver - The moral is to tell people what they will get before you die so they can come to terms with it and blame you instead of the other beneficiaries. This sort of squabbling can destroy families.
Mellie - A persons last will in testament is their final say in this world, and it should be respected unless of course these children feel she was not of sound mind,(and this can be substantiated) this or suspect foul play at the time she made her will.
Times are bad when even your last will and testament isn't worth the paper it's written on... if it turns out this old woman was of sound mind, this and made a conscious decision not to leave her home to her children, irrespective of her reasons this has to be respected.
She could have left it to the dog-poop federation and my opinion would be the same.
Freediver - Who are you to say who the 'rightful' beneficiaries are? This is where all the problems start, when people think they 'deserve' something they didn't earn. It was her money. It is her choice what happens to it.
What I am saying is that it is the old woman's choice. None of these people would have had the balls to stand up to her in real life and tell her she is incapable of deciding for herself who to give her money to. Now she is dead they all act like she didn't have a mind of her own. One thing I know for certain is that you have absolutely no clue what went on in this family and what reasons the lady may have. You are just another person out to capitalise on her death by scoring cheap political points against the church. None of you who think you know better have so much as acknowledged the woman's right to choose for herself.
and nails justification for it all - Yes they did earn it because they had to put up with their parents BS for a big part of their lives. What did the church do for it ?? Some weasel words, some cheap Safeway wine and a bit of salada biscuit and a fake gold pass to heaven to top it off WHat a joke !
Wow. Delusional much
