Only thing was his family was upset about the money going to her.

They had met when they were young and reconnected in their 80s. She probably should have married him not my grandpa, but such is life. I am glad they still had time together to be happy.

So your parents and aunts and uncles get his money instead of his kids. Nice.

Maybe he didn't want his kids to have it. Maybe they cut him off years ago. Maybe the PP's family welcomed him, cared about him and made his last few years happy ones.

Considering the current trend of cutting off parents, I think there are going to be a lot more surprises like this at will-reading time.

Or also weird to assume my grandma would be selfish and not give money to his family when she died.

where/how did she meet him? That would be my big concern.
