Sorry to hear about this. I have seen the same thing play out in my own family.
Lesson for us all, when you make up your Last Will and Testament, you do NOT have to give every child an equal share or any of that crap. In England only the eldest son used to inherit an estate, and as a result the rest of the sons went out and conquered 1/4 of the globe. When I go everything will go to someone that earned it, hell even if that has to be someone outside the family, it will go to someone with the right values.
My grandfather passed most the things he wanted me or my brother to have to us directly over the other dozen and a half grandchildren, because he knew we would appreciate it for the right reasons. Don't be afraid to do the same with your possessions. And whatever you have still make sure it is in the Will in explicit and uncertain terms, and spend the bucks for a lawyer write things up to make sure no one can contest it.
