It started around the late 1700's 1795ish and concluded early 1900's 1914ish.
It was over an Estate worth, then, in the millions, so they said but it is hard to say. Producers do a comparative to real time terms to make it sound a lot more than it was, real time purchase power are the words i was looking for. And it was years ago when I saw it on (maybe) Ripley's.
But it was a boat load of money and disposable property.
What happened was he prepared a Will with a Lawyer and the story goes, the night before he was set to sign it and make it all legal and proper, he up and died.
Well, everybody with a claim and probably several who did not, all brought cases to prove their claim held more validity.
A little over 100 years later all claims ceased. The Estate was broke. It went in Legal fees. W.

It sounds just like the Charles Dickens story, "Bleak House."
