So here is an odd inheritance story...something out of one of those movies.
DW received a call from our attorney who had been contacted by another attorney. Seems that a distant cousin left about $500k when he passed. He had no direct heirs of any kind and after some time and legalities, the money is to be split among DW and 9 or 10 other cousins.
Here's the thing: nobody knows who this guy was! He appears to have been a cousin of DW's grandfather. Outside of one cousin who vaguely recalls him from 65 years ago, nobody ever met him and nobody had ever even heard of him. None of the cousins knew he existed.
Our attorney says it does indeed appear legit so we're standing-by, but we’ll wait until "the money is in the bank" before celebrating.
So, unlike the movies, there's no castle in Ireland or English title waiting for us but an interesting windfall to say the least!
