Would you feel badly for someone who was supposed to live a privileged life and inherit a million dollars but instead...
because of greedy relatives and dishonest bankers and lawyers, had to make their own way in life and ended up inheriting a few hundred thousand? Or would you tell them to be happy with what they got?
I would struggle to have too much sympathy.. but I would try.. because I know that it's all relative.. just because I cannot imagine being left £1 doesn't mean that someone whose whole life had hinged upon the expectation that they inherit a fair amount would not find it devastating to not get that... It's probably a different world to the one I am used to.. not for me to judge.. I would certainly not tell them to be happy.. I think that would outrage them and be insensitive..
Depending on many unknowns at this time and if I felt like I could be successful for my client, I might consider filing a lawsuit on his or her behalf if that is what they wanted. Otherwise, it's none of my business. Dishonest bankers and lawyersgot my attention.

I don't know if I'd feel too badly, to be honest. It's not exactly a "loss" in my eyes to inherit a few hundred thousand bucks instead of a million. It's all more money than that person had before. But I also don't think I'd voice any sort of opinion or advice to them at all. Not my business!
