Ok, thanks for that bit of info, didn't seem right. I've known people who have done that same, in my husband's family. Even set up with a trust they'd want more. Lawyers ended up getting it all!

It could be that he didn't want to be a part of the suit. I know that lots of times people would much rather not get involved when a will is contested.. I had an aunt that died and left certain people money. Two of my cousins contested the will, they ended up with nothing but egg on their face. Could be that John C. didn't want any part of it. Cheryl
