Just went through it and they all behaved really well.

But there really wasn't an inheritance to squabble over. Just a few odds and ends and they were all easy about the items. Super nice people. Very large family. I wonder if there is more money or priceless items at stake, then I imagine it's more difficult to navigate.

Do you expect your In-Laws to squabble over their inheritance trying to get things over their siblings?
