I agree. These things can turn ugly fast. I was asked to BUY the things I wanted from my grandparents home when they died. I gathered the things, wrote a check, and went strait to the bank

This has to be a joke!

Not a joke at all. One family in our extended family group had 9 kids, one of whom needed custodial care for the remainder of their life. Dad was an attorney who should have known better, but he didn't make a plan for his passing on the theory that the kids would work this out among themselves. Not. The estate was rather large. There were arguments about who got what and some amount of 'helping themselves' to items, but what split the family was the division of cash. Some thought an even 9-way split. Others thought first take care of the disabled sibling's needs and then split the remainder. It got ugly and all these years later some siblings don't talk to the others. The moral of the story: put your own house in order, don't assume your darling children will come together for some kumbayas and all the flowers will bloom.
