I vividly recall when my grandparents were in poor health, and I would witness relatives who weren't around often(my family lived and cared for them in the same house)come for a visit and remind grandma, "I want this(pointing to wrist watch which grandma was wearing at the time) when you die." Or similar situations. My relatives would remind me that I should make sure I got something, to which I replied, "If grandma or grandpa wishes to leave me an heirloom or property it is up to them to decide." And I truly meant it.

To this day, I do not posses one item from either grandparent. I realized at that time that family members can behave rather unseemly when it comes to inheritance. That realization saddened me deeply.

People can be real sick when it comes to inheriting things. Your right, they are like rabbid dogs and will snuff the other family member out just for a piece of the pie. If i was going to croak and someone said "I want this when you die", i would leave them a bag full of dog poopie for their inheritance. ;)
