That pastor was NOT lead by faith and "the Lord's will"; he was lead by greed. Plain and simple.
That's why he's a preacher he's a crook 😡 they do that so they don't have to pay taxes 😢 I just hate that a preacher acting like that
Faith is just not a valid argument. Knowledge is!
It really upsets me, when people think, that what they believe is more right than what the rest of us know.
"I belive the moon is made of green cheese. What NASA knows, doesn't count" 🙄
It's crazy 😵💫
Greedy and selfish pastor
The sister is Ron's doormat
Tht MFS ah BULLY just like his Sister SAID!! 🫰🏽🙃
The lawyers were the winners.
So true
That's always the case.
Why there Lawers in a world of greed
Absolutely 💯
They loved that they all couldn't agree
Ron with his arrogance & Condescending attitude received exactly what he deserved. Wilma was right there with him. Neither one of them cared about anyone else, just themselves. Rob how does it feel being broke & right? No compassion for your sick dying cousin at all. What kind of minister are you?
He’s a monster pretending to be godly
@@rosanhawkins9213he’s a raging narcissist only Cres for himself!
He's probably living off the congregation money that's what he's in it for, like Joel Osteen, TD Jakes, Joyce Myers and so on.
@carolynhorne9863 excellent point!!
they beg Ron to dialogue and settle the court's do not like hard headed achiever's
why not share the money because there is plenty for everyone- including the adopted children. none, of these people earned this money so, it is a blessing to be included in the inheritance
They were not children they were adopted adults sceeming
Remember that the adopted children side are the ones who wants to get the whole inheritance in the first place. Second, what was written in the law will be the one that must be implemented
I totes agree with the whole "enough for all to share" mantra.
But - where there's a will, there's a relative - whose NOT prepared to share. At all.
Greed is one of the 7 deadly sins.
My dads will said my 4 biological children & if any of the 4 bio children predecease me, their bio issue will inherit their portion.
So you DON'T HAVE TO BE OR HAVE A LAWYER...JUST HANDLE IT 🧐🤔🧐 40:59 RIIIGHT 😂😂
Judges do NOT like NON lawyers playing in their sandbox. LOL
So Ron, the holy clergy, hid his greed in God's name, got nothing. 😂😂
the Bible warns about those false prophets lol
Ron looks like an American comic..can't remember his name but can see his face
This is ridiculous. 1 heir should not be able to hold the rest hostage
“Following the lord” 😂 Ron, are you sure it’s not the other side
Once a bully, always a bully. I am happy for all of the cousins that got some of the money, and happier that the greedy ones didn't.
Sorry for Cindy and her daughter and the family who loved her
Ron - what a joke! And a preacher to boot - glad you're not my brother
The worst part is that as the family bicker the vultures start eating up the inheritance!
The MOST saddest part!!! 🤦🏽♀️
Serves them all right
I wouldn’t even want to know either Ron or Wilma.
Neither would I.
Strange at best 👍🏽
Wilma is strange how she's thinking of Bush and who else did she compared herself to?
Anne green gablles
Yeah he sounds like a rightwing christian nationalist.
It’s always a big fight for inheritance -- money and properties that the recipients never worked hard for.
I am glad that Cousin Ron is NOT one of my relatives, nor Wilma, who acts like Ron's lapdog. My own family members aren't easy to deal with, but Ron is in a class all of his own....which is absolutely meant as a compliment.
I also wouldnt want Ron as my pastor. He's the antithesis of godly goodness, and the epitome of greed. Ugh.
Greed is a terrible disease in a person. Most times in the end they lose and take others with them
Yes. You'd think with 7 mio, there'd be enough to share 🙄
Served him
This is a shame that the cousins lost money because John was so greedy and a bully
This is the reason why when writing wills, experienced lawyers would ask their clients questions using words like : biological, out of wedlock etc. That means in your will, you can specifically exclude non-biological children and out of wedlock children, i.e. if that's what you want.
That’s why the word “issue” was used. It means biological descendant.
It's a lawyer thing. Judges don't like people who think your smarter than they are. You normally lose
Glad those two greedy people ended up with nothing
Well the two made the sick sister lose out, so karma they both lost out too.
But if the children weren't even adopted during the time he was alive how can that be how can they even think that he meant to adopt them and put them in his line of succession
That's what I wonder.
Yes, it seemed to be a power play by his son.
Correct. You are one of the few who have commented who paid attention and understands the real issue.
Now, he could have shared the inheritance if he felt compelled but legally he was on solid ground.
Is that what was said? Geez
Going by the will none of them is entitled to the remaining inheritance. None of Mr. Hafley's "issue" / children had "issue" / biological children to pass on the inheritance.
That so-called minister never got the message that charity begins at home
Not one of these people did anything to contribute to the earning of this money and should be grateful for getting anything. The thing that confuses me is how do you adopt someone AFTER you are dead?
HE did not. His son did. If the girls have been adopted during his life, he could have chosen to include them or exclude them. He did make his intentions clear by using the word “issue”. It is wrong for case law to subvert the meaning of a term that has been in use for centuries.
Ron got on my wick,denied his sister the medical treatment she deserved just so he could be right,hope wilma is happy she followed bully Ron
Sorry Ron was legally correct. Siblings just wanted quick cash.
Yep. And he was also correct in his assessment that paying one attorney 30% is ridiculous. That is over $1 million dollars for one attorney.
It’s a shame our own Supreme Court cannot follow the law.
Who cares. Wasn't his sister dealing with serious health issues that could have been helped with that $$? He was just greedy. SRSLY 3.5 MILLION wasnt enough money for a preacher?
More people should be like Ron. Stand your ground. I don't think the adopted daughter's deserved a dime.
To say that Ron was pig headed, insults pigs.
Ron……memememememememememe! Smartest person in the room 🙄
AND IM OK WITH THAT. He was always OK with that long as it was his idea.
Ron says he had to “do what was best for ME”. Well, hello Ron, you obviously don’t know a thing about Christianity! To be a Christian, means a Christ-follower, and there is no ME. It’s all about loving others, and doing what’s right. And what about the fact that he can’t take a single penny with him??? What a sorry shame of a “Pastor “!
He’s not a Christian, he’s the antithesis of Christianity
I am 1/3 of the way through this and it is upsetting me already! I was a late adoption also not having been adopted till I was 17 years old and he was my dad. In many ways he was closer to me then his own natural born children. He said to me once when I was helping him out of the nursing home to take him back to his home, “You know, you’re better then one of mine own.” He said as I helped him into the wheelchair. “You adopted me so I am one of your own remember.” He told me before his natural born children that he had cancer. We had a bond and a trust I don’t think he had with his kids. They were always asking for things where as I never asked him for anything. I’m going to try and finish watching it…. We’ll see how that goes.
Your situation is different from what is presented here. Your father knows you and chose you. Decedent Hadley did not choose these women and did not know them. They were adopted after he died. If they had been adopted during his life, he could have specifically addressed them in his trust. He did address it as best he could by using the word “issue“. As explained, the term means a biological descendent.
Yeah but you were adopted as a teenager not an adult
17 is still a minor they were 30+ years old with their own families etc! Also your father knew you but this man did not these GROWN women as his ADOPTED grandchildren he died knowing them as his son wife’s children.
@@tgrice601He was trying to fraudulently give that inheritance to those that he chose and not the grandfather .
He was as blessed to have you as you were he. But these adopted kids were not kids when they were adopted by the son of the man who left the inheritance in a trust he had long befor past away and his son tried to legally adopt his wifes 30yr old kids to make them the legal ones to inherit his father's trust 🙄Your daddy loved and raised you as his own,these adult adoptees were Not included in the will and trust. If he'd adopted them as children then Yes they would have inherited from the trust. Sorry you lost your dad and that I do understand as I lost my daddy a year ago 😔 😪 😢 prayers to ease your sorry 🙏
Ron is definitely the, "I'm not arguing. I'm explaining how I'm right," kind of person.
I'm with the two siblings who didn't want to settle. And paying 30% to the attorney is ludicrous! 10% would give him $700,000!
Ron
Proverbs 16:18
Pride goes before destruction,
And a haughty spirit before stumbling.
What a saga!
Ron. Wow. Just wow.
"There's no point in having a dog and barking yourself"
Take trustworthy advice on which lawyer to represent you and leave the work to them: they have spent years qualifying and gaining specialist knowledge and also in sussing out both the opposition and the bench!!! Drop the ego and try listening. ( I am not a lawyer but did take a UK degree in Law many moons ago)
I actually agree with Ron. Legally those adopted adults had no claim.
Me too!
Ignorant
Even if they had been adopted as children, they would have had no claim.
Wilma can’t think
For herself
I have an aunt like that. She defers to her slightly younger sister in everything, even though she’s educated and competent. She won’t make a decision without checking to see what her younger sister thinks. It’s automatic. It just comes right out of her mouth. If you ask her about anything she says, “Did you check with Mary?“ “I’ll have to see what Mary thinks.“ If I wanted Aunt Mary to be in charge of whatever it is, I would ask Aunt Mary. I’m asking Aunt Martha because I want Aunt Martha.
I have3 adopted children, all adults now, we do not and will not ever differentiate btwn adopted and biological children. PasterRonald was ignorant, arrogant, and greedy, none of them knew the deceased. Should have been within all beneficiaries to agree to include all children.
That is your choice. It does not bind your predeceased grandparents or great-aunts and great-uncles who did not know them.
I’d agree with you as an adoptee myself, but how is adopting an adult even legal? It’s bizarre
@@mssdn8976 You can do it to make sure they inherit from YOU. It does not bind your predecessors.
@@mssdn8976totally agree with that statement
My uncle died leaving millions , but there was a mistake in the wording which meant the money would not be distributed evenly . The only way to fix it was for all ten cousins to sign a document . All ten of us cousins signed . 💕
Greedy people
Adopting adult kids is strange He must have known about the inheritance!!
Why couldn’t they all share evenly Even though the adoptive ones shouldn’t have been entitled to the inheritance They are not blood line relatives
She is right he is in the wrong profession
Ronald, you are misapplying scripture. I am a gentile who is a co-heir of the kingdom under the New Covenant. I have no way of knowing how you preach the gospel, and having listened to your commentary and watched your witness presented here, I would strongly advise you to spend as much time and effort studying the bible so make sure you are indeed in the faith.
Agree !!The Bible teaches otherwise
Sound advice, 👍
Go off.
Well I'm glad the brother got nothing😊
Those two are greedy
I understand the pastor’s belief that the original idea was for his family to inherit. However, you must take into consideration the crazy RI judges. Then you cut your losses. Being right is great, all things being equal but RI is a crooked state and you can’t change the whole system. At least you don’t seem to mind you lost money. Legally, it did look like that adoption was a money grab bc they were adults.
Nevada uses California case law on community property, but misapplies two cases because the Nevada Supreme Court did not like the result. So in order to get the “correct” on Nevada bar exam, an applicant must write an analysis of the question using the correct case, then jettison that correct answer and apply the other case. These cases are called Pereira and Van Camp, and address apportioning the value of a business one spouse owned before the marriage.
People are so greedy. He can leave HIS money to whom he chooses. He doesn't owe the cousins anythng!
The direct descendant felt his step daughters were like his own and their kids most probably his grandkids and extended family. They were adopted because they were loved and meant to inherit. They were his family. Why would this cousin fight to exclude the adopted daughters? He never even bothered to know this side of his family before money was in question. That's just aweful! I'm glad they didnt miss out. With distant relatives like these who needs enemies.
It states @18:15 they were adopted long after he was dead, if he loved them and seen them as his he would’ve done it while he was alive
Greedy preacher go figure !!
😂yup
he reminds me of Joel Olsteen
Yes the lawyers and executives are getting rich and that’s Ron’s fault
Ron is a sociopath.
Thats exactly what I was thinking 🤔.
I'm glad I'm broke my kids will not fall out 😂
They can still fall out over care issues and end-of-life decisions.
Considering that none of them earned this money, they should have been thankful and grateful to receive anything.
That’s just ridiculous that they fought over what the father\Uncle wanted. It should not have been taken to court 😢
Ron's whole argument was that Art's biological DESCENDANTS should get the money, he might of been a biological relation of Art's, but he descended from Art's sister, not Art, so using his own argument he was entitled to nothing! Glad Ron's greed did not mess it up for the rest of them, including the adopted daughters.
... "I like my world.".... chuckling to agree...
There is a Ron in every family.
Bully in my highschool class became a minister. He had no calling as they say, he openly said he wants a career with prestige and that would impress his parents.
And the course of study is much easier than what’s required for other prestigious careers.
It is much easier to follow the law. If adult adopted does not inherit under the law then they should not inherit.
No my mom had adopted brother he got a larger share as he never asked to be adopted and the adopted parents had a responsibility to care for him.
Biological children don't ask to be born...bad logic
That was the your grandparents’ choice. It’s a completely different situation. He wasn’t claiming a share of an inheritance from, for example great-grandparents who died long ago, used the word “issue”, and never even knew of his existence.
Greed is a terrible thing
Something else I see is even more important to him than greed its control I want to be in control me me me me
I went threw a rough time with my entitled brother when our mother died. He had been disinherited 20 years earlier, but she gave him significant amounts of money for cars, businesses and housing during those years. He was determined to get all he could, or at least make sure I got less.
It should have been split exactly among all cousins and adopted children
29:30 😂wow..bush traded military equipment FOR MANGOS😂😂😂IT WAS IN THE PAPERWORK...
Duh....you went before a jury of lawyers to argue a case the other side of which was represented by lawyers and you were expecting what? The old adage, the man who represents himself has a fool for a client was clearly demonstrated here.
The adage says a LAWYER who represents himself has a fool for a client.
Cindy passed away fest in prace
All greed and everyone is filling there pockets
Greed is exhausting. And wasteful.
Is greed really the legacy you want to leave? It’s not tenacity, it’s greed.
I am with Ron here. All or nothing as a matter of principle beats trading your principles for expediency
LOL the ending
Happy ending!
The Chief Justice was rude to Ron... wow! 😮😂
Ron and Wilma were right.
i bet Ron does like “hard things” and often finds them 😮
I am so glad he lost
I remember seeing her one day in front of Bloomingdale’s. She was strikingly beautiful.
Geeze I wouldnt want to attend Rons Church. He gives me the heebees. He reminds me of being a one time child bully as his other sister said he was. Wilma looked a weaker person, she attends her brothers church that part I caught in her conversation. Money brings out the best & worse in families.
I know, been there, no loss bad experience though.
Greed of money alwsys reveals the true person's values and morals...
Lawyers win in these fights.
Cindy died because she didn't have funds to fight. When Ron could have been less selfish and it was dwendeling fast. Sad sad story.
In some respects I have to agree with the awful bible bashing brother, I admire his tenacity, but I'm sure Jesus broke bread and shared it with his flock great guy, even had glass of red, but this guy wanted it all crazy world
Glad Ron got NOTHING in the end...
That pastor is an idiot. I can see why the cousins wanted to bring it to court, but then they should have just done it quickly without letting lawyers and trustees get away with that much. Sad case.
The right way to handle this would be to fight for the intent of the person who wrote the will. The step children were not adopted until after the passing and as an effort to circumvent the intent.
Those who wanted to settle in an effort to "get something" since their motivation was only money and didnt care about intent when the will/trust was written.
I was disappointed that the episode of Etta James is not on here
Wilma has no back bone
This was money they neither expected nor worked for. If only they had agreed to share it 50/50 as first suggested. They would not have lost in the financial depression, through the lawyers and it would have helped their dying cousin....congratulations Ron and Wilma you win nothing!!!!😡😡😡😡😡
Did i gwt it right they were adopted after he died🤔😳
Yes! Crazy, huh. Ron was right.
They were adopted after Art Hadley, the originator of the Trust, died. Art’s son adopted his wife’s adult daughters.
The adopted children weren't legally entitled to anything...
No he is a sore loser and bruised his ego
A bird in hand is worth two in a bush.
The greedy arrogant one and the flakey one ! Thats Ron and Wilma …. I’m actually glad they didn’t get a share …
Ppl in the comments are weird. How is it greed when he’s entitled to it, and those women were adopted as adults, not children. Fighting for something that’s yours, rather than to lose 50% to a random.
He bullied everyone in his childhood now he got bullied by the court and his sister is a fool to go back and stand by him ....something is better than nothing...
I do not understand how anyone can be legally adopted as an adult .
By a dead man to boot 🤷♀️ @18:15
HOW MUCH DID EACH MEMBER GET?
The sister was dum to follow the brother
It was the right thing for Me! 😮
