Fighting over the remains of an estate seems to rip families apart. When my nan died, my mother and her sister went to war over some jewellery that had allegedly been taken and given to my cousin rather than my sister. Properly split up the family that was pretty close and I've only spoken to my cousin once in about 10 years because of that where we were pretty close. But if the sisters had asked, nobody really wanted the jewellery anyway and it was a fight about nothing.
