0:00.0	Wife divorces and wants husband's $3 million private island, but he tricks her into taking
0:07.0	the worthless island.
0:09.0	The brother of a good friend of mine went through a divorce last year.
0:13.0	The divorce was fairly messy, his soon-to-be ex-wife was trying to get as much as she could.
0:19.0	My friend and his siblings all jointly inherited their
0:22.1	grandfather's cabin a few months earlier. It is situated on a private island in Canada that has
0:28.0	been owned by the family for four generations. It's about 500 square feet and easily worth over
0:33.9	$3 million, and their grandfather had several unexpected private offers over that
0:39.2	value, all refused with no interest in selling. The family was notified by her lawyer that she
0:45.3	was requesting payment to buy out her one-sixth ownership. Each sibling owned one-third, and she was
0:51.8	trying to claim half of her husband's share. They tried to discuss a few
0:55.8	alternatives, such as giving her a one-sixth right to usage, but no ownership, and she declined,
1:02.0	apparently intent on forcing them to sell it, knowing that none of them could afford to front
1:06.2	the money to their brother to keep the cabin in their ownership. Their lawyer, a family friend, did a bunch of work to find a favourable solution for them.
1:14.7	In looking over the grandfather's will, he discovered that the divorcing brother did not
1:18.4	in fact own any part of the island with the cabin on it.
1:21.8	It seemed that their grandfather bought up a bunch of other islands nearby the cabin and willed
1:26.3	them to his grandchildren separately.
1:28.8	He only owned a small nearby island made up of rocks and gravel, not big enough to build on
1:33.8	and not worth any money at all. Not wanting to give her anything at all, they made her an offer,
1:39.6	attempting to look like they were giving her more than she deserved and with the appearance
1:43.4	of being desperate to keep ownership of the cabin. They gave her 75% usage rights of, quote, the island
