My granny's children broke the traditional practices about death of their loved ones. One thing is for sure: they cannot give her personal things unless it is her one-year death anniversary. They are so eager to dispose of all my grandmother's possessions. I am not sure what they are going to do with my father's inheritance. They have not said anything about it yet.
Do you have this practice regarding death?

We don't have any such practices in India.

@Shavkat I donated my late husband's good clothes to a priest and his some to the slum dwellers. I have still a lot of clothes to donate.

Such a issue regrading inheritance is a bit delicate,the best soluation is allocate possessions fairly.But in fact,it's not easy to do this.

She did not. But, it is automatic that her children will have the land property. They need to talk about it. Unless, they did something evil and that is, they let my granny had her thumbmark in a will. If it did, let bad karma strikes to them more than what they did.

Are you looking to get something that belonged to your grandmother?

It's always up to the person who inherits the person's property what happens to it and when.
When my mom passed away and was buried, my family descended on her home and took the things they wanted.

@Shavkat I understand. You and I have talked about how "different" they are from the way other Filipinos act... Some people are just weird, I guess.

Here you do it when you want. Big items like homes and cars usually have to go through the court system so that takes a little longer

It is hard to know what to do with old family possessions.
I have no children, so I left most of the stuff to my brothers and sister, as they can keep passing the stuff down to their kids, one day too.

@Shavkat It is a sad time, and one when we do not really want to involve ourselves in any petty squabbles over things to my mind, anyway.
I have heard that some families fight bitter battles over possessions, and money divisions, too.

I can only speculate that practices related to inheritance may vary across different cultures and families. However, in general, giving personal belongings of a deceased loved one may be considered a traditional custom in many cultures. It is important to respect the wishes and traditions of the deceased and their family.
