Jewellery and money

I have to keep it brief to not be identifiable. Someone has passed and a relative has had rings and wants more rings. While everyone else is grieving of the loss how can others be focusing on jewellery. Probably focusing on money too. This person never even bothered with the relative the last 2 years.

If it’s not in the will, don’t give them

I wouldn't let them in the house of the deceased unsupervised (or at all) you can do this in the guise of doing the legal duty of the executer to protect the estate and in case things go 'missing'. Shut them down when they bring it up again. They've had rings already? They can piss off.

This person and someone else is named in the will. It’s just frustrating they automatically think they are entitled to jewellery. What about the other person are they not allowed to have a say. The will has no mention of jewellery.

I have heard so many stories about people just wanting the deceased person’s valuable items is all they care about. Then some people want the items to sell on!
