Sitting in the lawyer's office, I watched my family sit around and wait for what they thought was their due. Grandpa died at home, and the only family member there was me. The lawyer came in with a box of envelopes and three binders. He smiled and said, "I am honestly shocked to see so many of you here as Fred did not leave many of you anything."
There was a murmur of outrage through the entire room as many of the people there realized Grandpa had kept his word. Mr Wilkins looked at me and nodded as I realized Grandpa told me everything was about to happen. He cleared his throat and said, "Shall we begin?"
I sat listening to the reading of the will until there were only the three binders left in front of him. He smiled and said, "Hailey, you ready for this?"
Shaking my head, I said, "Not really."
He handed me the binders and said, "He told you its all yours. Now, here this everyone. The apartment is Haileys and all investments are hers as well. All of Fred's business and checking accounts are hers and in her name. Hailey he left you instructions on how you are to use the money. All the information is in those binders with all the information you need."
