What is your take on doing well?
I don't see them as doing well I see them as greedy, arrogant, pompass and down right materialistic.
I have family (and I do not like to admit they are) that has done similar things.  A relative of mine, her father was an alchoholic, when young he, while drunk, hit and killed someone.  He never really got over it and it ruined many relationships BUT when he died and there was a lot of money to be devided up all these so called kids who had nothing to do with him while alive were there with hands out to collect.
it sickens me, all these people talk about is what they bought with the money; one got a new kitchen (and it was an ugly kitchen), one paid off gambling debts another bought a car.  To this day not one of them even displays a picture in their house of this relative. I can tell you where the money came from but I have no clue what he even looks like, now there is some good old family love.
These so called family members also excluded their own grand children from family functions so they could "impress" friends with a party they were throwing. 
a few years back i got so fed up with the greed in my family that i told relatives i wanted to be removed from their wills, im not interested in their money or material items. BUT a lot of people are.

I have family (again I use that word timidly) that ask me all the time why would I want to take myself out of inheritance or someones will,  I always tell them; I am not in this relationship for money gain I am in it for the emotional and physical aspects.  Money only causes problems.  I'd rather be poor and live in a shack with the important things then live in a mansion where no one wants to visit you and be alone.

Me my husband and our childen need for nothing, we have clothes on our backs, a roof over our heads, a warm bed and good educations; what else can you ask for.  After watching these greedy blood suckers I confirm that my decision to remove myself from my relatives wills was the best thing to do.

Good luck to this family,  once they can look past the money maybe they can see the real reasons they should be glad this aunt was in their lives.
