There’s likely to be a few practical lifestyle changes as the two penniless guys have been living in this cave and selling junk to buy food, cave décor, and other essentials for a while. Under German law, inheritance passes on to the nearest living relatives, which in this case are the two brothers.
As the
Sydney Morning Herald explains:
''If this all works out it will certainly make up for the life we have had until now - all we really had was each other - no women would look at us living in a cave,'' Geza said.
Genealogical research by estate lawyers discovered the two grandchildren. Their maternal grandmother died recently in Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany. From then on it was just a matter of finding them, and the lawyers eventually decided to use the Maltese Charity Service to find them.
Interestingly, while the grandmother’s name is being kept quiet to avoid fraudulent claims, the new billionaires aren’t getting that sort of protection. Hopefully they won’t get ripped off by unethical used cave salespeople.
