I actually bought my property for cheap because the old woman who owned it died and all the siblings (her children) wanted to cash out their cut and sell it quick.
So i lowballed and they took the offer with promise of a quick closing date.
Also lots of boomers are assholes and don't setup wills and then estates are divvied up in court and probate lawyers get large cuts of money and people get to vote for probate judges in some states.
If you have anything of value you should write a will and get it notarized and pass out copies to the people you trust most to keep on hand. Especially if you have children or people you want to pass your belongings on to.
I think upon hitting age 40 every man should do this even though thinking about death is morbid and taboo in western culture.
Sad story.
