Death may bring a windfall of money and materials to those who stand to inherit but also, more often, it’s where the squabbles and troubles begin. Who got what becomes a sad tale of many beneficiaries asking why they got less and why less deserving others got more. They see it as an unfair judgement on their relationship with the deceased. But, those were the wishes expressed by them in the will. Time may not be such a great healer after all.
