    Story Summary :-
    A week after OP’s Dad, her stepbrother called her and told her that their late father left everything
    to him and insisted that OP could just communicate with his lawyer. After a series of meet-ups
    with his stepbrother’s lawyer and the inheritance lawyer, OP found out that 90% of the inheritance
    was left to her and only 10% to her stepbrother. OP’s stepbrother didn’t believe her at first, but
    eventually, he did, after OP proved it to him
    Apparently, the stepbrother thought that the name, Elizabeth, written on the will was pertaining to
    their late sister, Elena. Liam thought Elena was just a nickname for Elizabeth because he has
    known OP by the name Elle all his life. And in any case “Elizabeth” is not alive, the entire
    inheritance goes to the stepbrother, with 10% going to charity, that’s why he thought he inherited
    everything. Stepbrother begged OP to help him pay for the mortgage of the mansion he just
    bought but OP refused. Because of this, the stepbrother tried to sue OP for false representation.
    After that, OP’s stepmother and stepbrother did what they could to get money from OP. They tried
    to manipulate OP into giving them half of what she would receive. And since that didn’t work, they
    went to the lengths of falsifying debts that OP’s Dad incurred. OP decided to take it to court, and
    in the end, OP won the case. It was proven that they indeed fabricated the debts. During the
    lengthy legal proceedings, the stepmother confessed to the crime and that she was the
    mastermind and his son had nothing to do with it.
    In the end, OP’s stepmother was imprisoned while her stepbrother lost his job and fame, while
    OP was living her life.

    It's good that justice prevailed in the end. The only thing that bothered me is that OP's stepmother ended up in jail but Liam got off scot free when he should be the one in the slammer. I don't know the frame of mind of OP's dad when he made his will but I'm just surprised that he named Liam as a beneficiary not his wife (OP's stepmom). Maybe there was a prenuptial agreement of sorts or something. If there is a natural beneficiary of the will it should be OP and his wife and not the stepson who is nothing but an irresponsible person from the get go.

    OP, you're a much better person than I am. I wouldn't have help Liam, period. He was as much a part of that scam as his mother. They were going to try and take everything and they WOULD NOT have help you at all. They ARE NOT your family. Mia weaseled her way into your Father's life to get access to his money. Its odd that OP's Dad didn't really leave her anything outside of what was in a bank account(s) which apparently wasn't that much. Apparently Dad knew what was up and acted accordingly. Liam should be on his knees thanking the courts AND you that he is not in prison with his mother AND that you are even helping him financially with a job. OP, go enjoy your life and PLEASE don't let Liam get to close to your life, he's not to be trusted.

      Liam's lawyer. There's an interesting point in the story. As she said, she shouldn't have gone to see him, especially before she saw her father's lawyer (or one of her own). I also have to wonder, not mentioned here, how it is that Liam knew the will apparently before she did. And then, that lawyer is after all an officer of the court. He cannot support his client in a falsification once he knows about it. He should have been ready to drop his client right away.
      Didn't it seem like Aleena was left out of the story entirely? Why didn't we hear anything about her before?

      @jennilynne1977 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@lauriemeyer7030 where I'm from, the "bank" you're talking about is called commissary. The only thing you get to take in is undergarments, shoes (no laces) and socks. The rest of your clothes go into a tote with the rest of what you had on your person and you get it all back when you're released. You get a jumpsuit to wear while you are in there. The jail in my town guys and heavy set women wear orange jumpsuits and women and skinny men wear green jumpsuits. If you have enough money in commissary, you can buy sweatpants, tshirts and sweatshirts. As well as underwear/boxers. The rest of commissary is food, ecigs and dip.

    First, my condolences on your Father's passing. Apparently he was more aware of what was happening than he let on. After Liam told me about the Will I would have gone to my Dad's attorney to get the facts. After getting the truth from my Dad's attorney I would have sat back and let everything happen. I wouldn't have told Liam, or Mia, a damn thing. Mia pushed up on OP's Dad for his money, that's all. Why OP's Dad felt compelled to give Liam, a grown man with a job, a monthly allowance only his knows, but 🤑 were in Liam's eyes. Still don't know why OP went to Liam's attorney instead of her Dad's attorney but at least she found out that Liam, nor Mia, knew her REAL NAME. Liam and his mother are a waste of air and got what they deserved. I wouldn't have given Liam another thought let alone help him financially. If roles were reversed, neither Liam or Mia would have given OP a dime and probably taunted her with being all but left out of the Will. I hope OP lets Liam take care of his mother when she is released. THEY ARE NOT, AND NEVER WERE, FAMILY. Turn the page, move on and leave these two sorry ass, greedy people in the past and DON'T look back.

    This story makes no sense. Why did the lawyer think OP was going to get anything, if he didn't know her name? When she checked the will through her own lawyer after the weird meeting the step-sibling's lawyer, her lawyer said that the division was 90/10% in OP's favour, unless OP was dead, in which case it would be step-sibling 90/10% charity. The lawyer obviously thought OP was dead, given he said as much, and his client, the step-sibling, would get 90%, but also stated that OP wouldn't be able to contest the will, regardless off the small portion he believed OP would get, except, she wouldn't get anything if she wasn't present in the will, which given the lawyers statements is the only way OP's presence in his office makes sense. Why would he even arrange a will reading meeting with someone who he believed wasn't detailed by the will?
    And what the f*ck is up with the court case at the end? The case was about the father's supposed debts to the stepfamily, but then magically transformed into the stepmother admitting that she was the instigator of the financial fraud in court. That's not how legal cases work. The mother would not be given at opportunity to offer a free-form confession, without the judge and her own lawyer stopping her. You don't just get to ramble on about whatever you want in a court case, no matter what police shows on TV would like to have us all believe. If the case was shown to be flawed through evidence to the point where one side or the other knew there was no point going further, it would be withdrawn, or a summery judgement would be given by the judge in favour of the defendant (if the procession was at fault), or the defendant would accept a deal that wasn't worked out on the spot, in the courtroom.

      Does a "reading of the will" exist outside Victorian fiction? Nowadays almost everybody can read, so interested parties should receive an attested photocopy to read by themselves.

      @@faithlesshound5621 - Yes, this is correct, the whole 'everyone gather around some we can all hear who got metaphorically butt f*cked in the will' is really just a tension device used in detective/drama stories to make narration of plot conflict points easier and more concise. This was used effectively, most recently in the film, 'Knives Out', in exactly this manner and for this reason, as it provides a simplified way to show initial intra-character dynamics in one easy sequence.
      Real lawyers would actually avoid doing this, this way, for exactly the reason also shown in the film. It's hard to manage expectations and moderate if everyone is screaming at everyone else in a crowned office or boardroom, your place of business.
      There's no legal expectation that the format of reading a will be shared, nor that it even be read by a representative of the legal profession to make it actionable. Typically, estate lawyers will use provided on hand information to contact participants in the will and let them know they are included, give them a digital copy if they have or are given a way to transmit that medium after initial contact, otherwise the participant is sent a physical copy of the will, or can arrange to pick one up, and/or talk with the estate lawyer about the contents of the will.
      If there are any concerns, the participant would then be directed to seek legal council to act on their behalf to resolve issues, via the count system in the usual way, and independent of others in the will.
      The context in the story might be possible, given that it was just a meeting between a lawyer and a participant for 'clarification', though give the lawyer was acting on behalf of another client in the will, but was giving deceptively incorrect legal advice to an opposing participant, I am not sure if the behaviour might be considered unethical and possibly subject to official rebuke within the legal framework.
      It definitely seems highly suspect, give that the lawyer wasn't acting independently on behalf of the estate, and instead in an adversarial role. However, the lawyer could argue that he was acting in the best interest of his client, and in good faith within the strictures of the legal profession, give that he never said OP couldn't seek her own legal advice and never directly impeded her from doing so in any meaningful way. He just implied that in his unknowingly mistaken context, based on erroneous information his own client had given him, that she would lose if she tried to fight legally with him.
      My issue with this description of the meeting isn't that it occurred, or even that it occurred in the way it did, but that the context of the will as describe by OP's recounting of the lawyer's dialogue in that meeting doesn't actually make sense.
      The lawyer obviously thought that the Sister in the will who would get the majority of the money 90%, was dead, which then lead to the second fail over conditional reading of the will, which was that his client, the stepson, would get the 90% and charity would get the 10%, so who did the lawyer think he was talking to?
      And why was he talking to her, if the only provisions in the will were for a sibling sister who he thought was dead, his client, and charity. What need was there to threaten an individual who wasn't even in the will? Even if he was aware that there was a second sister, in his own words there was no provision in the will for her, so why have a meeting with her? Why suggest that the will was incontestable, regardless of how little she'd get, because the reality is if she was the other sister, she'd get nothing.
      It just doesn't make sense, which makes me think its just some F tier fan fiction or an AI drop.

      @@faithlesshound5621 - Yeah, if it was a real meeting, which is doubtful, given the oddities in the story, including the court case at the end, which somehow went from a legal fight about the father's supposed debt, to the stepmother's in session confession to fraud.
      While superficially both aspects have the same root cause, which is a legal case about the legitimacy of the financial documents related to the father's debt to the stepfamily, both cases would not be run concurrently in the same court sitting and success or failure in one case does not automatically mean the opposite for the other case. Cases have a specific progression and framework of rules that they are tried under, and there is no provision for two opposing cases to be run together like this. When Amber Heard and Johnny Depp had their court cases in which they sued each other, the cases were resolved separately, and both won their respective cases, even though they were counterpoints to each other's case. Heard just lost proportionally more, because the monetary value she got in settlement for her case was significantly less than what Depp got in his, but both were successful in their individual cases against each other for the same thing.
      Back to your question though, yes, the lawyer was playing dirty, and a bit unintentionally stupid really, but likely it wasn't particularly risky to do so, as the most he might get is a slap on the wrist and a bit of tarnish on his professional standing among his peers, if he cared about that. Disbarment would require a much more overtly malicious compromise of the rules.
      Basically, he was giving legal advice from a position of recognised legal authority, but to someone that wasn't his client, so there is a reduced requirement for his advice to be genuine, or for that matter, accurate, and he could argue that the advice was based in misinformation told to him by his actual client, who in turn was also genuinely mistaken, so he was unaware that it was incorrect and was acting in good faith.
      A lawyer more conscious of the ethics wouldn't have an informal meeting in his office to avoid accusations of 'intimidation'.
