Bad Heir Day

When often intestate a rich man dies,
From out of the woodwork suers materialize.
Long unheard from relations from far and near,
Each one crying and vying for a share,
As they petition the lawyer to find a solution
To an awful case of "heir pollution".

Indeed, Jim. I've seen this happen so many times. It pays to have an iron-clad will!
