EstateofDenial.com disclaimer: Not all lawyers are grave robbers or similarly heinous creatures. Good lawyers do exist. We know and greatly appreciate some who perform important work in private, public policy and even corporate venues.
Now having said that, we’ve posted two articles (Australian probate disputes and Australian laws target greedy estate lawyers) about Australian estate disputes and upcoming reforms as well as a new EoD column, 21st Century Grave Robbers: Exploit the Dead, Harm the Living, Part 1, that discusses a book written by an Australian businessman. In Lawyers or Grave Robbers?, Diarmuid Hannigan details his family’s experience with the lawyer/executor of their mother’s estate. The entrenchment of the legal industry and non-responsiveness of government (due to entrenchment of the legal industry) are the two most astonishing similarities between Diarmuid’s experience and that faced by many Americans.
It’s good reading which we hope you will enjoy.
Estate of Denial® provides news, analysis and commentary on abusive practices occurring in probate courts and via probate instruments (wills, trusts, guardianships, powers of attorney). We provide original perspective to educate the public regarding this growing threat to both individual freedoms and property rights.
