Without an attorney-drafted estate plan, good intentions can spark conflict and erode family wealth.

When their father passed unexpectedly, the three brothers—Evan, Luke, and Daniel—returned to their hometown for the funeral. Their father had run a successful woodworking business and owned a cherished lake cabin, a home full of memories. What he didn’t leave, as they soon learned, was a proper estate plan.

At first, they promised one another not to argue. “We’ll figure it out fairly,” Evan said over the kitchen table. 

Weeks turned into months. The business needed a decision-maker, the cabin needed repairs, and the money tied up in their father’s accounts was frozen pending probate. Each brother came to believe he knew what their father really wanted. Evan argued for selling everything and splitting the proceeds. Luke, who had worked beside their father for years, claimed he deserved the workshop. Daniel refused to sell at all, saying their father would have wanted to keep the cabin in the family.

Eventually, anger replaced grief. The brothers hired separate lawyers, each insisting the law would vindicate him. Legal fees drained the estate, and the woodworking business fell apart without leadership. By the time a judge divided what was left, the family’s harmony—along with nearly half the inheritance—was gone.

A year later, standing alone at the lake cabin before its sale, Daniel whispered, “All this because Dad didn’t have a real plan.” The wind off the water carried the words quietly, as if agreeing.
