A few years ago, in our area, a JW mother died of a brain aneurism. Her husband had committed suicide about 15 years ago. They had four kids, all grown. She was estranged from the kids, who were no longer witnesses, so left her considerable estate to the WTS.
The 3 eldest kids, had an absolute fit, hired an attorney and went after their mother's estate. The WT attorney's capitulated and gave it back. I was speechless that it happened so easily. I wonder if they would let it go so fast now, when they need the money.
