Family Rift: Brother Seeks Reconciliation After Estate Scam

In an advice column, R. Eric Thomas addresses a situation where a man named Tom is dealing with his brother, Dick, who has mismanaged and misappropriated funds from their late parents' estate. Dick, as executor, has paid himself excessively and undervalued estate assets to Tom. Despite Tom's desire to maintain their relationship, he is forced to take legal action to remove Dick as executor and recover funds. Thomas advises supporting Tom by affirming his decisions and assisting with legal proceedings, while acknowledging the emotional complexity of the sibling relationship.
