Chapter 24 - What I Changed in My Estate PlanEveryone assumed I disinherited David.
I did not.

I changed that too.
David would not automatically receive it.
Part would fund a legal-aid program addressing elder financial exploitation and deed fraud.
Part would remain available to family under carefully defined terms.

“No.”
“Then what?”
“Separating love from control.”
Tom’s note remained in the file.
