      In practice this isn't cut n dry. In most cases, it would most likely be legal. Because Title 18 section 331 and 333 both make some pretty firm specifications about _intent._ Not in effect only excluding "accidental" defacing or destruction, but many in effect a whole bunch of reasons for doing so on purpose/with intent.
      Now I'm not an American lawyer, but by my reading, and considering it's function and effect now well into the 21st century - it _appears_ that _most_ reasons for why someone would destroy US physical fiat, would be incredibly easy to successfully argue has a different intent than those criminalized. Those basically break down to purposes of fraud; manipulating the bond/note/coin for fraudulent purposes, and destruction for the sole explicit intent of rendering the bond/note/coin unable to be reissued.

    My not-very-nice great aunt was looked after for the last few years of her life by one of her three grandchildren. She left her considerable estate to the other two granddaughters, with the note that Caring Granddaughter got nothing “for reasons that are known to her.”
    My father, who drafted the will, knew the reason. caring Granddaughter’s husband had ONCE parked his car in Aunt’s driveway while his was being worked on without checking with her if it was ok first. Note that Aunt didn’t drive, so it hadn’t actually inconvenienced her.
    My father was disgusted to put it in that way, but Aunt insisted.

    • @Zarathustran
      @Zarathustran 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I think perhaps that was a sarcastic comment that became the cover story but the reason well known to (but unacknowledged by) so-called caring granddaughter was probably that she was a manipulative suck-up with her eyes on the prize. If she used the time “caring“ for her grandmother trying to exert undue influence (attempting to betray the other grandchildren by inheriting their shares) she wouldn’t announce her understanding of being called-out after your great aunt‘s death, but she’d certainly get the message.
      Really astonishes me that your great aunt Is thought of as the bad one considering she took care of the grandkids who didn’t manipulate her even though they left her care up to someone who almost certainly tried to use her (and cheat them). They are your father’s second cousins, correct? He knows his cousin or cousins well enough to know what their kids are like. Ask him if what I’m suggesting is plausible.
      And you should watch your own back around that one who I’m pretty sure has you (but maybe not her two siblings) fooled. Unless she brings a challenge (which sounds like it could happen with no mention of an in terrorem clause and deterrent bequest) it serves them to let the dead woman look wacky more than to discuss why their grandma flipped off their sister in death. The disinherited one is clearly a narcissist so will not likely have enough common sense to avoid showing her ass doing something like that and inviting further nastiness. It’s probably tearing the three of them apart (because they know what she tried to do to them but of course she’s pouting and crying foul anyway) even though this is one of the rare examples one hears of where testator is not being the abusive tyrant with an unequal split, IMO.
      Your dad must be in denial because it’s his own family or something to have not figured this much out. Also disinheriting someone without a challenge clause suggests he might not be a trust and estates attorney but still drafted a will at his aunt’s request. I think probably his own misapprehension prompted her sarcasm about the parking spot. Be gentle with your dad when you point this out to him. I was the dumbest turnip farmer to ever fall off the back of the truck when my dad died in 2016. As you can see I’ve had an ugly education about how shit works in the intervening five years. I like your dad and his naïveté/innocence is his (and your) good fortune to not think so calculatingly. The therapeutic term for using an inheritance to manipulate someone and then walking the check is future-faking, though I’d argue to some degree that’s not exactly what happened here. Best of luck to you and your family and high five to your father.
      PS Incidentally if you’ve never seen the movie Mommie Dearest, the wording “for reasons that are well known to them” reportedly followed (paraphrased) “It is my intention to make no provisions herein for my children Christopher and Christina” in Joan Crawford‘s abusive will that disinherited two of her adopted children. So….if that was not your father’s wording I think grandma‘s choice of plagiaristic inspiration tells you everything you need to know about how she ended up with such a betraying treacherous granddaughter.

    • @Zarathustran
      @Zarathustran 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I just reread your post. Your father “knew” the reason? So he’s the one making her look so awful despite the fact that she gave him her estate plan business?! Seems duplicity is the strongest behaviorally heritable trait in your snakepit of a family just like mine. Is he executor as well? Gross. Way too much imagination and not enough reality going on there,
      They don’t tell you as much when you’re born into a grifter family and aren’t one of them, they just betray you until it turns you or runs you off. Family and home are the most treacherous rather than safest people and places growing up in this kind of “family” (which is more family in the sense of an organized criminal gang than supportive or sufficiently nurturant). Welcome to the club.
      Man, I need a shower. No contact five years here with any of them except through the incredibly corrupt legal system trying to wrap it up. Grandfather was a psychopath, my father was his favorite and our aunt stole his share of our grandfather’s farm from us in collusion with corrupt oil and gas attorney and family accountant. It’s the most ginormous clusterfuck of depravity imaginable. I did discover the graves of the great grandparents my grandfather abandoned after the deaths of their other two children because I imagine (but unlike your father I don’t “know”🙄) they’d spoiled him overjoyed to have another boy after having lost his brother and weren’t fun anymore after losing his sister. He split two years after she died and misled everyone he’d been orphaned for the rest of his life (I think because my grandmother had been orphaned and that was how he lured her in). Out of curiosity what state are you in? Texas here probate in Texas and Louisiana though

    15 years after my father's mother passed away, my family was contacted by a Lawyer stating that her wealthy 3rd cousin had passed away leaving everything to her and her descents.
    My father was one of seven children and each of them had between 3 to 5 children. Those children had an equally number of children.
    By the time the lawyer had completed the family tree he had used up the inheritance in legal fees and court costs. So none of us received anything except an unfulfilled expectation of being wealthy.

    My mother had a legit relationship with a guy she met when she moved into her first apartment with me (parents seperated). They made plans to have him move to where we live, and move to a house together and even marriage. Just as I was finishing Middle school, I find out that he died of a heart attack, which devastating my mom.
    My mom told me that when she died, I had to have her cremated, get the ashes of that man, and spread them together over a specific pond in NYC. I don't remember the details, but I knew she talked to her mother about it so I might be able to honor that request

      Maybe. Though if I were the husband, I'd be like "Go for it, she never said you have to leave me."
      But then, I've never put much importance on names, while others do.

    It seems like people are trying to avoid specific people contesting wills on the basis of not remembering them. In order to avoid that, you can explicitly say something like "for persons x, y, and z, [will owner] gives nothing." And if its a problem with a relative of the dead parents child you can say that they are not to have any involvement in their life. This provides no options for those people contesting it.

      The laws about wills, at least here in the US, vary by state, so there is probably no "one size fits all" for what to put in a will to disinherit/avoid contesting. Some places might be cool with just a callout, others might require a monetary amount, hence some wills going "to my terrible child, here is $1 because frick you." I'm sure the technicalities involved in cutting someone out of the inheritance are half the reason estate lawyers exist, long may they prosper (and provide us with funny Reddit stories)!

    Not a lawyer. The mother in the John Deere family gave her step family a shit ton in her will and her actual family a small bit since they were already wealthy. The crazy part is that anybody who argues against it gets cut out of the will

    • @Zarathustran
      @Zarathustran 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I thought they were standard and unenforceable but they are not standard and too enforceable given the number of tyrants who manipulate with future-faked inheritances and then walk the check upon their death. An abusive parent will retaliate for a kid (including adult kid) standing up for himself, and while there aren’t many good reasons for surprise terms in a decedent’s will, when it comes to their children surprises can only be cruel spite (and if we were more civilized would recognize as the very evidence of a testator’s incapacity to execute such a last will and tantrum).
      Anyway, it’s called an in terrorem clause, (challenge clause) but the only relationship a token deterrent bequest bears to an inheritor’s wealth is it has to be substantial enough that the person would not want to risk it’s forfeiture if the court rules against any (anticipated, so endeavored to discourage) challenge petition they may file. Depending upon the construction of the clause it’s language usually applies to challenges brought with or without cause and treats any who join in a challenge the same as those who initiate it, so depending on the probate jurisdiction that can to some degree be just a scare tactic.
      In a family where someone doesn’t treat their children equally in death it’s unlikely you’d find benevolent alliances and certainly not unanimity, but a unanimous challenge by all with a potential claim (be on the lookout for long-lost illegitimates) that’s affirmed of course gets the will set aside and if lost leaves the estate effectively with no heirs - all of whom would inherit usually equally under the probate jurisdiction’s laws of intestacy.
      I’m interested to read about that case… A mother favoring her stepchildren over her natural children is an unusual betrayal. Typically they play favorites within their own children favoring the halfsibs and scapegoating the stepsibs. More typically what you described would be their (much younger) stepmother outliving their dad (who she would’ve had to really svengali in order to not have already taken care of them and just leave everything up to her but it happens - - see Elaine Marshall) favoring her own children maybe from a previous marriage….so I’m very interested to read about it and am about to look it up.
      That was one hell of a rich family. I’ve been to a party at Vizcaya. Holy shit. That’s the kind of money you’re supposed to have when you leave a 22 page will like my father did LMFAO. He was an idiot and it is now very well and widely-known. Only a foolish narcissist too deficient to acknowledge the existence of any perspective other than his own conflates his last words with having the last word. He was so stupid one time attempting to make fun of someone and suggest I guess they were a lush or something said they would attend the opening of a post office. “Dad, I think the expression is ‘would attend the opening of a letter’”. He was a monster his whole life, stole a business from me, never acknowledged valedictorian, never asked what word struck me out when I finally did lose a spelling bee upon which the auditorium’s gasp was what caused me to even realize It had been a big deal to have been winning them. And those are just a couple of the greatest hits. He knew what he was doing to be cremated because damn straight expressions like pissing on graves don’t come into the vernacular arbitrarily

    My friend is now a Judge but when she just finished her education her grandpa called her to go with him on a will reading. Because she knows the law and stuf. She wasnt mentioned or invited. It was the will reading after her grandpa's uncle died in age of 102 years old. The lawyer started reading and the decised left something to everyone except to one of his sons. So the lawyer read:"and to my other son I m leaving good wishes for a looong and prosperous life and my stamps colection" That colection was wortless cause many years ago my friend, the Judge used the good stamps for sending Christmas cards. And then the lawyer read that the decised left my friend 22980 $.everybody was pissed. She wasnt even invited.
