The Dead Man Tells No Tales

The Dead Man

When a person dies how his property should be distributed in favour of the living is a process that is supervised by the court a legally recognized neutral player. On many funerals some relatives are oftenly heard claiming how the deceased secretly told them about who would benefit from what in the deceased's estate. Unfortunately the deceased would not be there for verification of facts because dead man tells no tales. So in light of this the selling of immovable property belonging to a deceased estate but without a relevant consent from the courts is a serious offense that can land someone in prison.
