"From the anger of a middle-aged woman, who smashed a coveted crystal vase rather than let her brother sell it, to the anguish of a son cut out of his parents' will during a brief period of teenage misbehaviour who remained excluded when they forgot to put him back in, lawyer Les Kotzer has seen too well what can happen to families when parents don't plan ahead properly for the distribution of their possessions after they die. And, says Mr. Kotzer, it's only going to get worse. He predicts a wave of family feuds and lawsuits by siblings fighting over their parents' assets."
