[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Without anybody else being aware of the inequity, the person sitting on the big inheritance doesn't have to endure any shame or disapproval for being greedy and not sharing.

My father inherited everything from his brother/my uncle who was divorced and had two children with his ex-wife. She was struggling financially to raise our cousins without him. My mother was livid that her BIL had done that, and insisted that my father give every dime to the ex-wife/mother of his kids. I'd like to think that even if my mom hadn't done that, one of my other aunts or uncles would have called out my dad for keeping that money. But my dad could have kept quiet and not told anybody about the will, even my mom, and nobody would have been the wiser. [b]The secret nature of wills seems [/b]ripe for all sorts of moral corruption. [/quote]

Keep in mind that once the estate has been administered the Will is then a public record for anyone with the ability to do a search, finding the document in the local Civil court system.[/quote]
