Angry, hear hear, I've seen a few cases of it but overall it seems to wait until "THEIR" next life!
A good (true) story, in the Uk I bought a 1930's bungalow literally falling down but in the Stockbroker belt of Yarm on Tees. Turns out the old lady that owned it was very ill aged in her 80's, her offspring had somehow obtained power of attourney to sell the place but the proceeds were to be held in trust until the old lady died.

I renovated the place beyond recognition over the next few years, the last I hear when I left the UK in 1987, was that the old dear was still alive and knocking 100, you ************ beauty!
