The second tragedy was that he left no “will”. The guy was by no means impoverished. In fact he left behind substantial assets running into millions of dollars. Which oddly enough started the family intramural. The children, including the mother, quarreled among themselves over the estate: the prodigal son claiming the expensive BMW - the mother says its hers to keep; the oldest son wanted to sell the family house because he doesn’t want to live there - over the protest of his mom; the youngest who is often seen hanging out with a wild bunch, insists that her share in the inheritance be given to her at once and not managed by a trustee - naturally the mother said No”.
