For most people in Zambia, where families work hard to build modest homes, educate children and secure a better future, such a dispute might seem like a problem from another planet. Yet the principles behind it are surprisingly familiar: who controls the money, who answers for their decisions, and what happens when those responsible for protecting a family's wealth are accused of failing to meet their obligations?
