My sisters and I received one third of my grandfather's assets between us when he passed away, as well as a payout from the life insurance. The reasons for this are not worth going into. I don't think any of us actually wanted the money, but it was better than the alternative.
I don't actually know if I'll be receiving anything when my mother passes. The hope is that it will occur many years from now, and I'd rather she spend her money on stuff to make her happy while she's here than give it to me when she's gone. I can always make more money; seeing the people I love get the most out of life is more important to me.
