NASHVILLE, Tenn. - A legal battle has erupted over the estate of former U.S. Senator Fred Thompson.

That legal battle comes in the former of a lawsuit filed late Tuesday by Thompson's two adult sons -- nine months after the death of the actor turned politician.

In the complaint, sons Tony and Dan Thompson question a flurry of changes to their father's estate in the days before his death back in November.

Thank you.

Wouldn’t wish my story on anyone.

I’m offering free advice to all of my friends.

when my parents died the original will disappeared and one that was signed by my dad 24 hours before he died of prostate cancer was submitted to the courts. I have seven other siblings when you divide an inheritance of 1.4 between eight kids that is a good chunk of money. My brother had gotten my dad to sign a will that disinherited everyone but him. it was fought in court and went to arbitration. my brother agreed to the fair distribution of the arbitration when we showed proof that he and his wife had forged my dads names on checks after he had died. six month later when he his wife could not be prosecuted for the forged checks because of the statuette of limitations we were back in court him challenging the agreement. eventually after seven years in court it ended at the time there was only one sibling that was financialy able to pay for the lawyers. My brother who paid the legal fees called it blood money and distributed his share of his inheritance to the other surviving siblings except for the brother wgho caused the mess.....

I have warning to all who have elderly and sick parents watch out for any body that upon finding out the person is dying decides that is the time to move in and take care of them especially if they have ignored the person for years and wanted nothing to do with them.

Unfortunately, the feuding is not always about money.

I would never have believed what happened when my mother died.

In 42 years in commercial banking, I saw things between heirs that appalled me. Made me very cynical about human nature.

10 years ago my paternal Grandmother passed away. She made my father, the 2nd of 5 children, executor because she knew he would do what she wanted. The other 4 are real pieces of work. The oldest, a sister, was angry that she wasn’t the executor and refused to talk to my father after that.

Fast forward 4 years. My father is terminally ill in a hospital that is 15 minutes from the sister’s home. She refused to visit her brother and still wouldn’t speak to him.

If I never see these people again in my life I will be happy.

I guess there’s an up-side for us to be children of a poor country preacher: No money; no estate to fight over.

When my wife’s paternal grandfather passed away the 5 children argued so much about just the possessions (there wasn’t much money) that they ended up having an auctioneer come in and sell the stuff in the house.

One item was a shotgun that the grandfather had taught my wife’s 17 year old brother to use, so he wanted it as a keepsake. In a sane world, he would have been told to take it home. But we don’t live in a sane world, so the gun had to be auctioned like everything else. When the bidding started, one of his uncles actually bid against him a couple of times to get the price up to where he thought it should be. Incredible.

If you say something to Hubby about his sister his response is always....I don’t have a sister. We went through 3 years of hell because of what she did to his dad while he was still alive. It was all out of greed.
