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 🤣

My aunt gave away millions in cash and property that was earmarked for my family, particularly my brother and I. It was given away to strangers to spite us.

I never had a single argument with her.

My grandparents are rolling in their graves.

@uncalled4 That’s terrible. She should be ashamed of herself!

@MellyMel22 We only found out after reading her will. She really showed us!

@uncalled4 so spiteful of her. Just like my sister. The things she gave away or destroyed that bothered me the most was handmade items, there was a collection of embroidery that I had started doing from the time I was 5 years old. She was jealous of me doing that, sewing and crafting and probably threw every single thing away that I ever made.

@uncalled4 Yes my sister is too. She got a big kick out of spiting us.
