And You Thought Your Family Was Crazy

Disputes over estate matters can get very ugly.  Need evidence?  Consider this article from law.com, where we learn the following:

A Manhattan judge has dismissed a New York attorney's lawsuit against his aunt and uncle [S. Robert Davidoff and Ila Davidoff-Feld], in which he alleged the Florida couple defaced his Web site by replacing all of his postings with a photograph of the lawyer labeled "Pig of the Year," in which he leans back in a chair and appears to say, "I'm going to eat everything in site."
...

The Davidoff family dispute began with a watch, according to plaintiff Jonathan Davidoff, the principal of the three-attorney Davidoff Law Firm.

Following the death of his grandfather (defendant Robert's father), Jonathan initiated an action in Arizona that resulted in a Maricopa County court holding Robert in contempt and requiring him to return a Rolex to Jonathan's grandfather's estate and to pay Jonathan's travel expenses.

Hopefully I can stay in the good graces of my aunts and uncles and avoid this type of thing.
