So sorry to hear about your loss Harley, you'll be in my prayers.
But yes I've seen greed rear its ugly head close up several times around deaths/funerals.
My grandmother passed away several years ago and at the time still had like 7 children still living. My grandmother was fairly wealthy and had a good bit of stuff in her house, she was 96 when she passed on.
Anyways the oldest girl excused herself claiming illness very soon into the funeral and left. The children had all previously agreed to meet at the house after and split up all the belongings not in the will - there was quite a bit.
You guessed it my oldest aunt went back to the house, she must have had a box truck or two or three pickups because she raped that house, took everything that wasn't nailed down ! She had two china cabinets full of old-old stuff. China, depression glass, antiques, ww2 medals, Vietnam medals from my uncles, turn of the century hand made quilts, all her old jewelry, I could go on and on.
They were all beside themselves with disgust. All of them would have been happy with a picture or two and one of her necklaces or something. They got nothing !!!!! My aunt told them all she was the oldest girl and she deserved all of it.
My aunt died like 3 years later, she was like 80. To my knowledge nothing has ever been said about all the heirlooms.
