The cause of the discord/La causa de la discordia
On the Giraldo family farm, everything is discord, the death of their father has caused a great number of fights, arguments, and some of their relatives have even hit each other.
En la finca de la familia Giraldo, todo es discordia. La muerte de su padre ha provocado numerosas peleas y discusiones, e incluso algunos familiares se han golpeado.
The reason for all this is the death of Mr. Roberto, a well-known landowner in the region, who died at the age of 65 without leaving a will.
La razón de todo esto es el fallecimiento del Sr. Roberto, un conocido terrateniente de la región, quien falleció a los 65 años sin dejar testamento.
After the burial, the family gathers not to mourn his death, but to discuss the possessions he left behind, including "a beautiful steed" that everyone wants.
Tras el entierro, la familia se reúne no para llorar su muerte, sino para hablar de las posesiones que dejó, incluyendo "un hermoso corcel" que todos desean.
The neighbors hear the arguments but don't dare to intervene. Suddenly, gunshots are heard. In a moment of anxiety, their only son draws his weapon and points it at everyone arguing. It's a complete massacre. Realizing what he has done, he points it at himself and dies instantly.
Los vecinos escuchan las discusiones, pero no se atreven a intervenir. De repente, se oyen disparos. En un momento de zozobra, su único hijo saca su arma y la apunta a todos los que discuten. Es una masacre total. Al darse cuenta de lo que ha hecho, se apunta a sí mismo y muere instantáneamente.
Neighbors come to the scene, the police arrive, they examine the bodies , it's regrettable to witness all this, something that could have been avoided simply by making a will, says the inspector.
Los vecinos acuden al lugar, llega la policía, examinan los cadáveres, es lamentable presenciar todo esto, algo que se pudo haber evitado simplemente haciendo testamento, dice el inspector.
The family's assets pass to the state, including the " beautiful steed" that everyone wanted .
Los bienes de la familia pasan al estado, incluido el "hermoso corcel" que todos deseaban.
I absolutely hate scenes like this, where people always end up arguing about inheritance when someone dies. In itself, there doesn't need to be a will at all, because the law already provides for this, perhaps not for every specific detail, but it remains to be seen whether you describe this in your will and whether the person concerned will actually receive it. In any case, I drew up a will years ago and yes, I also disinherited people, because the solicitor thought my will was very standard. But what use is a standard will if the law already provides for it? Then I don't need to make one and I can save myself a lot of trouble. Despite this, I also drew up a will, which fortunately does not require a solicitor, but I also find that important, again deciding when I am no longer able to do so myself, and of course I choose a person for whom I know will respect my wishes and will not squander all the money. I think that in this case I could also have made arrangements for the parent, because as a parent you can certainly influence your children, even if you don't want to admit it.

I have heard news reports of this happening, not on this scale, but it has happened that some family members fight over inheritance, some have even gone to jail for conspiring to kill some of their closest relatives and even direct heirs.
I find this truly appalling. Imagine growing up together as a family and then ultimately killing each other just for a bit of inheritance? Perhaps it should just become the norm that there is nothing to inherit and that parents simply spend everything so that their surviving relatives receive nothing at all. It's also good to learn the skills to build your own life and not live off someone else's money or business. Now I feel like that's becoming less and less common here. Houses can actually be inherited, and if they are, very high taxes have to be paid. When you consider that we spend our whole lives buying a house that we have to pay off and that we can't even leave it to someone else without putting that person into debt, unless of course that person is already rich, then owning something makes no sense at all and is just a burden, especially a financial burden.

Making a will is very simple. I think people who have assets should do it. Sometimes people are driven by greed and forget that they are family.
A will with us isn't easy you have to follow some rules and it costs close to 1000 euros or more. The safest option is to consume or give away everything long before your death. If you do this last minute they will fight another as well.

Wow, Felipe, you're very talented. I love the way the story unfolds. It's somewhat tragic, but unfortunately, we've seen it in real life. No matter who the person is, what they leave behind causes problems and even death. It's a sad subject, but it often happens.
Maybe I exaggerated a little, well a lot hahaha, but this topic is very real
