worked on a case involving a fight over a super rich guy's estate. everyone involved was also super rich. main motivation seemed to be spite / personal enmity regarding people who got most of the money in the will. both parties got huge amounts in the will, though.

This sounds like it’s 180 for the lawyers. That’s the joke in Bleak House - at the end of the case all the estate went to the lawyers.

cr. mostly bc the 5yo kid will look at his parents like "please stop squandering my inheritance. just stop!" while the parents are still alive.

Billables. So lawyers on both sides have incentive to keep fighting. They are paid out of estate.

Bankruptcy can be the best if you don’t mind working 24 hours per day. You are constantly doing standup work and try lots of questions.

Something with a million dumb documents and endless discovery and depositions and petty fights about all of it would be pretty bad. At least with probate, the amount of "evidence" at issue is probably pretty limited.

recent example from my personal life: family friend's mom finally dies at 105 or something. she has a bunch of money. in her old age, she added our friend and her daughter, his sister, to her bank account so that they could take out whatever they needed to take care of her and then split what was left once she died. the day she died the sister took out "her" half, $300k. when she realized the bank didn't ask any questions, she came back the next day and took the other $300k. i told friend he is fucked, anyone on the account was free to take it all whenever they wanted. he's about ready to kill his sister.

people get absolutely disgusting when it comes to going after dead relatives' or friends' money. it's honestly very depressing.

there are clearly good people and evil people. some people wouldn't think to screw their siblings out of money, no matter the circumstances.
