I always read these things wondering who the scumbag is in the story.  I find what often happens is that you have one child, with special needs and no money, who is promised the home by the parents when they die, and the other siblings who see themselves as more entitled to the money, even though they have good incomes, who show up with attorneys and demands, and since Mom and Dad did not write a will, because they did not understand that their Republican children would throw their autistic sibling under the bus, if it meant they could buy a new BMW SUV with their share of the home share, the most vulnerable member of the family gets the short straw.

Of course that could just be a boomer thing, since they were taught their entire lives that there is no such thing as mental disease and that poverty is caused by sin and so failure should be punished with even more hardship.
