the will, part 2a

Hi Beth,

I have not heard back from you??

Just wondering how you made out with the maze of questions!!

Let me know,

Well the ordeal ceased to be a major headache. But it did so by becoming a nightmare. It turned out that dead salmon fail to swim upstream. Since we uncovered this crucial piece of information, we've discovered the terrifying structure of the will.

----

So after all of that is he paying you anything???

That would stink to do all of that & get nothing!!

Yes, a dead salmon will not go upstream....that's for sure - kind of corny don't you think that he would have that in there?

----

We will get the estate in pieces. However, the deceased left nine heirs and an estate divided pizza-like into pieces of eight. The conditions for dispersal show the dead magnate's insanity. His last will and testament decrees that the death of an heir gives a piece of the estate to the living heir who happens to be closest geographically to the death. And if an heir dies with part of the estate, their share goes to the closest living heir as well.

And these estate eighths are substantial: every one affords an heir a life of luxury.

----

Sounds like something like the attorneys had set up for when my grandmother died....when someone dies off then it goes to the next people in line??

That could be something that does on for years and years!!

----

Well two potential heirs have suffered fatal accidents already. I relocated without telling them my destination.

----

yeah...smart women!!

----

Yeah although actually it is kind of lame here. I don't really know anyone.

----

Well you better let one person know where you live just in case you disappear???

----

Good idea. Hmm. I'd like to be searched for if something happens, but I don't want to reveal where I am in case someone is reading my email. Let's stay in contact. Can you email my friend Michelle if you don't hear from me for a full week?

----

Of course...I never met you but I don't want to see something happen to you!!

You have my number too....I don't have yours, but maybe you want to give it to me so that I can put it in my address book.

Keep in touch,

----

Actually, I don't even have a phone at the moment. Little need for it down here. I'll figure out a way to send my location in case something happens.

----

Ok....well not sure if you are still having a memorial service??

Hopefully, everything will work out for you!!

Take Care,

We were so pissed at the old man that we refused to claim the body or give him a funeral.

But now that all of the siblings are in precarious situations, if they go before me I'll throw the greatest funeral party this world has ever seen.
