every living friend or family member that they've ever had thinks that they are entitled to a large chunk of the money?

I don't know did this happen to you?
And if it did, are we related?

Even though the thought is wrong, everyone thinks that they deserve to get in on the wealth, instead of earning the money like the majority of people have to. I have no idea why people think that way. I can see paying back money you've borrowed from friends & family, and maybe buying them a few nice things, but you really don't owe any of them more than what you owe them. I think greed sets in, and everyone who even read your name on a jury list comes crawling out of the woodwork to get "their share". How rude! <*)))><

It's human nature...we think we're each special, important, and owed something. As such, just because someone close or related to us wins something or gains a lead in some area, we believe we're entitled to a piece of the action.

I dont know why that is but it is the truth and not fair at all!! Most family members dont want anything to do with you and then when you have money they are your new best friend!!

I don't know that from personal experience, but, I've heard that is true. All of sudden you have new best friends, and people who called you names in school are looking to reunite...it's amazing!
I sure wish I knew what that was like.

1) Greed
2) Think you owe them something
If it was me...I would share, but say nothing about it until I've discussed it with a financial advisor and had some way to fairly share the money.

Because money brings out the worst in people.
