Have you dealt with a greedy fam member after a death?

I came across this pic I took for my Aunt through marriage to let her know she wasn’t getting my painting 😠



Soon as she heard someone said it was worth a serious amount of money, she lost it saying it was promised to her daughter 😒 Growing up I just loved this painting. It’s like a piece of my childhood and it was my Gram’s who promised it to me when I was that young. She promised my cousin the other one that she loved.

It’s just sickening that she was ready to take it only b/c she thought it was worth money. After I sent her my pic my cousin told her, “no it’s hers, Gram promised her that one.”

My cousin took hers off my Gram’s wall when she was still in her nursing home room. I only had mine many years before b/c she didn’t have a place to hang it given its size. My Gram announced at that Thanksgiving that a nice stranger asked her for her painting and she gave it to her. Dementia.. but we didn’t know it yet and were all losing it 🤣

@Musicman It was years back, just reminded me when I came across the pic. There was no way to prove anything if it had. She gave it to me fully clear and while she was in her own condo. The dementia didn’t start till many many years later.

@MellyMel22 At least you got your painting. 😊 Does everyone still talk and get along?

@Musicman Yes! And yes, but that Aunt lives out of state.
