Blood & Money: Why Families Fight Over Inheritance

Those of you who read my blog regularly have heard me talk many times about siblings who fight over their parents' estates. On occasion, I'm accused of being cynical but I like to think of myself as a realist. Most families fight over estates; that's simply a fact.

I recommend that if you're struggling with your own family disputes over an estate right now, read this article to see if it gives you some insight. Click here to read it.
