inheritance

A family member dies, and suddenly everyone has opinions about who deserves what. Maybe you inherited money, property, or investments, and now relatives are asking for a share. It is an uncomfortable situation that mixes grief with guilt, family expectations, and legal reality. So, if everyone expects you to divide the inheritance, are you actually obligated to say yes?
