An 80-year-old woman has sparked outrage after she left her entire estate to her pets, ignoring her children in the will.


According to reports, Ms. Liu from Shanghai, whose exact age has not been confirmed, changed her will to blame her children for neglecting her in her later years, particularly after she got sick.


In her will, Ms. Liu wrote that her pets had provided her with "comfort and companionship" during her autumn years, and that this was "worth the two-and-a-half million dollars" she had left them. 


However, the will has raised legal issues, as it is not legally permissible to pass on inheritances to animals in China.

The estate is currently being managed by a veterinary clinic, and legal challenges have already been raised against the bequest. 


Now officials are looking for other ways to resolve this unusual situation.



An official at China’s Will Registration Centre (WRC) in Beijing, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said Liu’s “current will” is one way to resolve the issue.

“We would advise her to appoint someone she trusts to oversee the vet clinic,” the official said. “This is not the first time Ms. Liu has taken such a measure.”


In her will, Ms. Liu left her $12 million fortune to her dog, Trouble, but none to her four grandchildren, Craig, Meegan, or any of her other grandchildren.


“I have not included any provisions in my will for reasons known to me,” Ms. Liu wrote in the will.


In 1989, the real estate billionaire, known as the “Queen of Mean,” reportedly told a housekeeper that “we don’t pay taxes.” Helmsley denied making the statement, which she later said she had made to her daughter-in-law.


The case received a lot of attention, and a judge eventually ordered that the amount left to Trouble be reduced to just $2 million.


It's a rough day for Trouble.

Credit: INSTAGRAM @Bar7Ranch The choice of a Texas couple to charge their 19-year-old daughter rent for staying at home after high school has sparked an intense debate over responsible parenting and money management. The over one million-follower Gatesville, Texas couple, Erika and Cody Archie, announced on TikTok that they will be charging their daughter Kylee $200 a month for rent beginning June 1, 2022, only two weeks after she graduates from high school. The Archies' decision is in line with a rising discussion over the best ways to instill financial responsibility in young individuals.  About 50% of American people between the ages of 18 and 29 live with their parents as of July 2022, according to Pew Research Center . This is a huge rise from earlier decades.

Vegan Bride uninvites all meat-eating family and friends from her wedding.: ‘We prefer not to entertain murderers’

Image
Image by  melancholiaphotography  from  Pixabay Imagine being uninvited to a wedding not because you forgot to RSVP, but because you eat meat. That's exactly what happened to the majority of the guest list at an all-vegan wedding, who were told they were "murderers" for being omnivores and thus barred from attending the big day.  According to a recent Reddit thread, the 20-year-old bride used a Facebook group called ' Vegan Revolution ' to explain why she had not invited any meat-eaters to her wedding. Related:  My wedding will be alcohol-free, and I kindly request that those who cannot enjoy the event without alcohol refrain from attending She continued, "You know, it's funny how 'family' can try to guilt trip you into inviting them to your completely vegan wedding, even though they eat everything."

A millennial mom recently went viral asking “toxic” boomers to stop bullying kids they don’t know into conversation.

TikTok: @Kay.n.zee She recounted a time when a woman commented repeatedly on her daughter’s appearance at Target. “I don’t think you’re pretty,” she said, but the stranger persisted.  “I told my daughter that she knows she’s beautiful, but she doesn’t like talking to strangers.” The maker of a TikTok #toxicboomer video questioned, "Why would you want to plant that idea in her head?" in a follow-up video. "Millennial parents are putting a lot of effort into ending these harmful cycles, but they just discard it whenever they have the chance to pass it on to a helpless child." On another outing, she said, a “boomer man” praised her daughter’s “perfect olive complexion” and asked “where” she was “from.” Last month, in another video, she responded to a viewer’s question about what a “good boundary” should be for these types of interactions. “I don’t mind the interactions as long as the daughter doesn’t mind them,” she said. “But if a child isn’t responding after you’ve ...
