No problem with my family... When my father died at 41, the brothers and
sisters descended upon the farm like locusts with all sorts of claims that
they had loaned money on a handshake, etc... The judge allowed their claims
(1950's) and they turned my mother and myself out into the road (not even a
street with the clothes on our backs... I told em to go **** up a rope at
the time...

Funny thing, 20 years later when I had clawed my way out of poverty into the
upper tax brackets, they suddenly showed up at my office and wanted me to be
'family' again... I reminded them of my last set of instructions to them as
they turned us out... So, if I win a 100 million, I won't be hearing from
them, at least... Ghod knows what vermin will turn up otherwise, though...

Now if she would just loan me some money...

Lol - I personally know a family which was once very close - until the
grandparents won the lottery. It ended up really ruining things for
them -
there was much bickering about "fairness" and the grandparents really
became
paranoid about who was being sincere and just trying to get on their
good
side for the money. It wasn't a pretty sight.



That could happen very easily in my in-laws family...
