Dr. Phil Features Will Contests

The Tuesday, November 13, 2007, installment of the Dr. Phil Show will feature people engaged will contests and other estate controversies in a episode entitled Will Fights.

Here is a description of this show:

Do you have a relative scheming to get money from a rich aunt, uncle or even parents when they pass away? Meet four sisters bitterly fighting over their aunt’s inheritance. Virginia’s original will divided her estate four ways: Pat, Linda and Barbara would each receive $10,000 and Carol, the youngest, would get the remainder of the trust — approximately $400,000. But the will was split six ways to include Linda’s two kids after Aunt Virginia went to live with Linda. Barbara says she can’t imagine why her aunt would change the trust unless Linda manipulated it. Does Barbara have a case against her sister, or is she just being the family troublemaker? Their mother, Fran, drops a bombshell about the real reason the will was changed. Then, Sondra says she and her husband, Patrick, fight constantly since they blew his $100,000 inheritance in less than a year. After purchasing five new cars, a new TV and furniture, they can’t afford to pay for their daughter’s college tuition. Will this couple ever stop bickering about money?
