my aunt (who has plenty of money herself) used her kids to rinse a shit ton out of my nan before she passed (she paid for all the kids activities and outings, pocket money, school clothes etc, while not paying a penny to her other grandchildrens kids. then when the house was sold after her death and all the insurance stuff paid out she claimed my nan had borrowed money off her while alive and was owed a giant share of the estate. she was also named as the executor of the estate. this is also after my grandad had died so was the full estate and included one of those really fucking cushy pensions from when ford was at dagenham and the unions had them by the bollocks.
I was promised by her and her fella at my nans wake I'd get a bit of money as my nan would have wanted me to ( i grew up with my mum's side of my family and am sort of an outsider on that side of things) and my dad would be looked after properly (having suffered a stroke 5 years prior and being unable to work since), never saw a single penny.
on my mums side, my aunt did similar with my nans jewellry (which was probably the only thing of worth she left) having sold my nan her diamond rings when the shithouse who proposed cheated on her and she didn't want them, only to take them without consent of the 4 other siblings after she died claiming she was entitled to them as the dickhead cheater died the year before and she wanted them to remember him by, then she took all the stuff from the estate she wanted and cut ties with everyone for 2 years to avoid any backlash. she would make me do the washing up at her house before she'd let me use her phone to call my mum to come pick me after I'd been playing with my cousins when I was a kid so she was at least true to her core morals I suppose.
ugh, that all sounds totally rant worthy.
