The $50,000 Venmo Payment That Destroyed a Father’s Legacy!
What started as a loving gift turned into a family feud.
A father sends his son $50K through Venmo for a house down payment.
Six months later, he passes away… and that payment becomes the center of a bitter court battle between siblings.

In my latest episode of Estate Planning Nightmares… and How to Avoid Them, I talk with attorney Andrew M. Ayers, P.C. about this real-life case and how something as small as a missing note or unclear payment description can tear families apart.
We also share what YOU can do to prevent the same heartbreak in your own family.
