I always say that death, tax and family dysfunction never go out of style, which is why our small lawfirm is so prosperous.  I'm an only child, so I don't have personal experience with sibling rivalry (my 2 kids have a good, if somewhat contentious relationship), but the grudges carried on for decades are unbelievable.  We had one case where two brothers were fighting over the father's estate.  The brother on the other side whined in a deposition that his grandparents never gave him hugs or lollipops.  And this was a 60-year-old man!  

As my boss says, estate litigation is often just a way of keeping the deceased parent alive.
