Your story about Vulture-like, greedy behavior when a loved one dies, here

These should be juicy.

People get goofy when inheritance-time rolls around...

1. My mom's sister thought she owned everything

in their mom's house because she, her husband and her daughter were living there rent-free when their mom died intestate. They said they were "taking care" of their mom, but she was pretty healthy up until the end.

She sold a baseball autographed by the entire 1930 A's for $.50 at an estate sale (the 1930 A's are thought to be one of the greatest teams ever to play baseball, and my grandfather was a good friend of Connie Mack's -- they had the party celebrating their 1930 pennant win at my Mom's house).

2. FIL is not even gone yet.

but SIL has managed to take over everything, house, car, all possessions.

She took him to an attorney after he had a stroke and had him sign over everything to her.

Funny thing is, she mistreated him, so now he lives with us.

4. Oh shit, that's sorry!

3. I'm pretty much happy that my parents didn't have any money.

I'd like to think that my siblings and I would have been above the bickering if they had, but you never know, and I'd rather not have found out.

5. My stepfather is still alive

but had a good chunk of property before he recently sold it. His mother left it to him before she died. Before he sold it, his adult son and daughter cut him out of their lives because he wouldn't give any of the property to their inlaws, not even relatives to him or even that well known by him. The kids haven't spoken to him in years. I was the only one who called him on Father's Day. I hate it when people are so damn greedy as to treat their own parents badly.

6. Then there was the one about the woman who was having her

portrait done. She asked the artist to add a beautiful diamond necklace, earrings, bracelet and ring. He said he could, but asked why. She answered:

"I don't have long to live. I know my husband is running around with a younger woman. I know he'll marry her when I'm gone, and I want her to go CRAZY looking for this jewelry."
