So often we are hearing forummers saying they want to keep their landed property for next generation, but what you dont hear most of the time is that, there are also other siblings who wants to keep their shares of landed property for their own children.
So what happen when the rightful owner of the landed property past away? Everyone will rush in to cash out..
Many of them have never met, yet all can trace their heritage to a small, rundown bungalow in Katong.
Bearing different family names - including Chin, Goh, Koh and Tan - they are descendants of Madam Wan Chin Neo, the late Peranakan matriarch who bought the house for $1,900 in 1937.
These 31 of her descendants will soon meet for the first time to discuss the distribution of her estate. This includes the house in Katong, which was sold last year for $4 million.
Joining them is Madam Wan's great-great-granddaughter, Madam Agnes Yeo, who applied for a share on behalf of her 76-year-old mother, Madam Goh Kim Choon.
