When a Family Lost Everything: How to Protect Your Legacy Through Property Ownership

At Purple K Investments, we often meet families who wish they had acted sooner. This is the story of one such family. It serves as both a cautionary tale and a call to action for those who want to preserve their legacy through property ownership and planning.

The Johnson Family Home

The Johnson family home sat peacefully on the corner of a quiet street in Atlanta. Built in the 1960s, the red-brick house had been the centerpiece of family gatherings for decades. It was where Evelyn Johnson raised her children and where her grandchildren returned every summer to relive the magic of their own childhoods.

The property was more than just real estate—it was a symbol of sacrifice, resilience, and love. But after Evelyn passed away, that cherished home became the center of confusion, disagreement, and eventually, loss.

No Plan, No Protection

Evelyn never placed the home into a trust. There was no will. The deed still carried the names of her late husband and herself. No one in the family realized how vulnerable the home had become.

What started as shared verbal promises between relatives—"We'll keep the house in the family"—slowly turned into disagreements about repairs, unpaid taxes, and inheritance rights. Cousins who once played together now stood on opposite sides of court hearings.

In less than three years, the home was sold at a tax auction. The Johnson legacy was gone.

A Common but Preventable Story

The Johnson family’s situation is, unfortunately, not unique. Across the country, thousands of families lose generational wealth because of unclear property ownership, lack of estate planning, or the absence of a strategic preservation plan.

At Purple K Investments, we understand the emotional and financial devastation this can cause. Our mission is to ensure this never happens to your family.
