Yeah, I'm sort of worried about this with my family. On my mom's side I have a sister and two step-sisters, so everything will likely be divided 4 ways, unless the one flakey step-sister gets in the way. On my dad's side, however, is just me and my sister. My sister hasn't spoken to my dad for about 3-4 years now and I don't see that relationship being reconciled anytime soon. My dad will likely leave everything to me, which is going to piss my sister off, but is probably fair considering I'll be the one taking care of my dad when he becomes ill, etc.
That being said, I tend to be fairly amicable so I'll likely capitulate a little a bit.
