"If you are still in close proximity to your loved ones." That's the key phrase. Galen's great-uncle had moved to a different country to escape the war, and he had lost contact with his family. He thus had no way to discuss his property or last wishes with anybody. IIRC, he didn't even learn of Galen's existence until he was old and dying. When he somehow learned that he still had living family, he hired Rowan to serve as a go-between and contact Galen._Bokeh wrote: ↑22 Oct 2020, 04:06 After understanding why Galen's uncle could not go back to the Lands of the Princes, I believe that what he did was the best he could have done. At least he made the effort to track down Galen when he realised he did not have much time left and have arrangements in place for his property to be handed down seamlessly. In other scenarios, I believe it's best to discuss such issues beforehand, especially if you are still in close proximity to your loved ones.

People who read are hiders. They hide who they are. People who hide don't always like who they are.

In Galen's grand uncle case, I think the prospect of mortality provided him the courage to try to look for heirs in his family. Since he is said to have left under a cloud of shame imminent mortality might have resolved him to get things sorted. For Galen the nephew, not knowing beforehand helped to prevent his sense of entitlement and appreciate the hard work his uncle put in.

I think if Galen knew about his uncle when he was alive, he probably would have joined him, and taken care of him.

From the book, Galen's uncle started searching for him when he knew of the state of his health, and considering the time it takes to search for someone in another land, he died before he could meet Galen, and I think this is justified.
