This is fascinating and tragic. You brought to light an issue that very few know about here in the U.S. I think inheritance often brings out the worst in people in all cultures. I have seen so many families toward apart fighting over property and money. Property is both a gift and a burden and tending to it can be quite costly both financially and in terms of sweat equity. Is part of the struggle in Jamaica involve a legal system out of synch with the traditional culture? It sounds like many people are not navigating the legal system and I'm curious as to the why.
