Your siblings may not act the way you expected after your mom or dad passes away. Fights about money and estate assets are very common among siblings after a parent’s death.

Greed can make beneficiaries behave in strange ways. It’s one thing for siblings to insist on their fair share of estate assets; it’s quite another to be locked in battle with a greedy sibling who is trying to get more of an inheritance than they’re entitled to.

This article will discuss inheritance greed—why it happens, warning signs and common scenarios to look out for, strategies to manage conflict with greedy siblings, and legal remedies for dealing with disputes after a parent’s death.

Family dynamics tend to be very complex. Relationships get even more complicated when money issues and valuable property are thrown into the equation. The roots of sibling inheritance disputes may extend back to childhood, or they may arise from more recent relationship issues. Whatever the root cause(s), the emotional and financial stakes are high. If not handled well, inheritance disputes can lead to long-lasting relationship damage.
