"Max and Erla had a dream with respect to the provisions of their will and if you will it, it is no dream."
I'm with the judge on this one.
And I think it's much deeper than a matter of "pride" in one's heritage.
And people should be able to disperse their estate as they see fit. I think I'm having a bit of a flashback here...low rent, of course. About fifteen years ago my daughters inherited a small amount of money from my grandfather's estranged much younger adopted sister, who left the bulk of her estate to her 'birth' family and a small amount of money to any female R----- family issue under the age of eighteen. (Don't call me girls - mom invested your money in crazy stuff like coats, shoes etc. for you all. No personal gratification was involved.)
