My great grandfather was a multimillionaire. His eldest son changed the will after he died and when his siblings were too young to fight and the legal evidence and nuances were all lost during WWII when the Japanese invaded. Consequently, my grandfather and his youngest siblings and all our family never received anything but there's another part of our family living in million dollar apartments with fancy cars and servants around the world, living off that money. It does make me a bit jealous and bitter sometimes but you just have to accept things for what they are and believe you can make your own fortune and successes. None of the family talks to each other though. Money is just a bad thing for many people and the most embittering thing there can be.
For you, it's just a PVR and issues with how she treated your mom, it's nothing compared to 50 million dollars. The question for you is if you want a relationship with your aunt. If you do, this is just a small and petty thing that you can patch it up and maybe even confront her about how she treated your mom. It's something that can be resolved if you have the desire to. If your aunt has been a selfish person though and you have no real desire to have a relationship with her, then let it drop and let her be miserly on her own if that's what she wants.
