<p>[QUOTE="Bev aka thelmasstuff, post: 62013, member: 23"]My friend's parents bought Oriental rugs, rare books and collectible glass and china and told her that her inheritance was in the house. Unfortunately, her alcoholic brother lived in the house for ten years after they passed and didn't take care of anything. The rugs were all motheaten, the books had mildew and water stains from leaks he didn't have fixed and he broke a lot of the china and glass. It was very sad. I'm all for passing antiques down in the family, but only if they are pristinely cared for. Better to give the kids money.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
