My aunt and uncle lived in one half of a house, and their daughter and her family lived in the other half (and didn't take particularly good care of it, either). When my uncle died, my aunt decided to sell because she didn't need such a big space anymore.
Her daughter and son-in-law expected her to sell the house to them for far below market value - and this is basically her retirement income. She refused to, and there was some bad blood, and they packed up and moved out East and don't talk to her anymore.
