I can also see Jana being the caretaker to her aging parents and slowly having them sign over everything to her while her married siblings are too busy to care. Then when JB and Michelle are gone, there is nothing left to divide. Possession is really 9/10 of the law. The other kids would have to have to time and money to take her to court to get whatever is "theirs." Wills don't matter if the family is too dysfunctional. I have seen this happen on both sides of my family with the deaths of two of my great grandmothers. 2 2 Link to comment
Sew Sumi July 14, 2019 Share July 14, 2019 They have everything tied up in a trust, so no one gets anything until both Boobchelle are dead. As @BitterApple noted, who is named executor will be key. Hopefully, it's their lawyer. 9 Link to comment

Someone more knowledgeable should definitely chime in, but my understanding is it being a trust also means they can't sue the trust after JB and Michelle die. It also keeps all the details out of probate and, thus, private from the public. 2 Link to comment

JoanArc July 14, 2019 Share July 14, 2019 Two mil divided up 19 ways is only around a hundred grand a piece. That's....nothing when you factor in all the dependent kids and families. They'd make more of a profit getting out now and telling all. Even if Jessa or Josh outmaneuvers the other it still won't be for much. 8 Link to comment

Their Healthcare costs will only increase as they age, as will the number of dependents Boob is dishing out allowances to in his golden years. He might have to unload some of those properties along the way in order to keep the horde afloat. 6 Link to comment

A previous poster said the Duggars own more property in another county, but the website that shows properties is harder to compile values in that county. Combine that with likely other investments and assets, and the $2 million is probably just a fraction of the actual total. 2 1 Link to comment

No but they COULD sue the executor if they feel the executor is not doing their fiduciary duty making moves to the benefit of the heirs. We had to do that when the executor stole all my dads $. That does require them to pay attn to what the executor is doing though. 3 Link to comment

Parents trying to keep Smuggar happy, or their version of happiness, so that he wouldn't misbehave, and 2. Parents trying to prove to the world that their way of life really works. When Smuggar was first married, the wedding special and the media articles gave the distinct impression that Smuggar owned his house (Grandma's house aka the Mold House) and his car lot. It wasn't long thereafter when it came out that he actually owned neither. The Duggars were fronting hard even before they got their own series. 9 Link to comment

Portia July 17, 2019 Share July 17, 2019 With all that name-brand candy, chocolate syrup, and caramel syrup, their version of ice cream cake looks super expensive to me--especially considering how much they would need for their huge extended family. My son always requested a homemade ice cream cake for his birthdays, but my version was two chocolate cake layers with a thick vanilla ice cream layer in the middle. Not expensive at all, and he loved it. 1 6 Link to comment
Barb23 July 18, 2019 Share July 18, 2019 My sister has a recipe for an easy & delicious ice cream cake. It's a single layer of a brownie type chocolate cake with a layer of vanilla ice cream. The cake doesn't freeze for some reason & it can be served as soon as it is taken out of the freezer. Metedith's cake looks small for the usual Duggar crowd. I'm sure Joshley could put away half of it in one sitting. 3 3 Link to comment

Remember in the first special, when the Duggars went to Aldi and Jim Bob made a point of buying cookies? Someone, maybe Mullet, made a comment then that Jim Bob always makes sure to get his sweets (ew double entendre). 4 4 Link to comment
