Another Box!

Waited For His Wife

Another Newspaper

Contacted A Lawyer

Thinking wisely, they decided to contact an estate lawyer to know more about the details of the legal aspect. On further investigation, they found out that the original owner of the house had died in the 1960’s and had no descendants. This meant that all the money was legally their’s now.

Great Fun

As You Sow, So Shall You Reap!
