Why does judge thwart son's wish?

This is an incredible story.

So why does former Judge Bucher want to prevent the assets from his estranged son's (Thomas Bucher) estate from being distributed according to the son's WRITTEN wishes?

Didn't Judge Bucher take enough already from the residents of Lancaster County through his generous salary, retirement and other benefits?

Why, at this late stage of his life, would he now want to take more?

Let's pray that the Orphan's Court Judge presiding over this case, Judge Rehkamp of Perry County, isn't "swayed" by the fact that the petitioner is a former judge.
