Stop in for a cup of coffee

Technically it’s now owned by my parents but it operating between me and two brothers.

Some of the equipment was purchased when we took it over last year. Some wasn’t and then my grandfather went and bought even more equipment, but under his name. There’s also some debts that the estate has to pay and this is the only way to raise those funds. We could have directly purchased these things from the estate and avoided an auction but extended family greed put a stop to that.
At least you guys didn't have an evil second wife to deal with. Luckily Mae's dad gave some things away after their mom died -before he remarried. Cause EVERYTHING that was left without a title in his name only, she stole or sold . His truck and property were about all that was left to be sold by the estate. Looks like there won't be an appeal, so might actually be getting divided and paid out soon. Won't be much though.
