People show up to funerals and/or deathbeds for a number of reasons; some show up to pay their respects, others to [[AndThereWasMuchRejoicing celebrate the deceased's/soon-to-be-deceased's death]], and still others only come out of a sense of obligation. However, one of the most selfish reasons a person can come to a funeral/someone's deathbed is inheritance.

The attitudes of people who would engage in this behavior can vary; they might skip or be late for the actual funeral itself but be punctual when it comes time to discuss inheritance. They might spend the funeral impatiently waiting for when it comes time to discuss inheritance. Before the deceased's death, they might have either acted kindly towards them in hopes of being included in the will or not even bothering to hide their eagerness for the soon-to-be-deceased's death so they could get their inheritance faster. Some of the worst examples might not even bother visiting the deceased on their deathbed or coming to the funeral but have no problem contacting the attendees to demand their inheritance.

Needless to say, these types of characters will either end up [[PassedOverInheritance not receiving any inheritance]], or, if they do, it will either be a paltry sum, [[OnOneCondition come with sort of condition]], or will [[InheritanceBacklash come kind of downside that makes the inheritance undesirable]]. Short-sighted characters who assume that they will receive a share of the inheritance might even go so far as to get themselves in debt going on shopping sprees and quitting their jobs assuming that they can pay back what they owe from the inheritance and live off of it forever. If said characters find out that they didn't receive any inheritance or that the inheritance they did receive was inferior to what someone else got, expect them to hound the people who got the inheritance/got the better share for some or even all of theirs.

* ''Series/RizzoliAndIsles'': "The Best Laid Plans". An elderly, vastly wealthy woman is murdered by use of air embolism. The woman has two sons, one of whom is a successful businessman, the other a drug addict. Given the access to the money and the repeated failed attempts at rehab, the police suspect that the addicted son might have had a motive for murder, especially since his drug of choice, heroin, would have given him the knowledge of how to use a syringe to inject her with the air necessary to cause the embolism. The son, however, turns out to be a RedHerring. He notes that having free access to that kind of money will inevitably lead to his death, and no one would be surprised, least of all himself. [[spoiler: The murderer turns out to be the chauffeur, who was the illegitimate son of the murdered woman's late husband, who wanted her to suffer because his father died before he even knew he was his father, and so he never got to know him. However, the woman, as she was dying, was trying to forgive him, which actually left him feeling remorseful about his actions.]]

Some of the worst examples might not even bother visiting the deceased on their deathbed or coming to the funeral, but have no problem contacting the attendees to demand their inheritance.

The types of characters who act in this way are rarely sympathetic, with some usual perpetrators of this behavior being terrible offspring who believe that inheritance automatically goes to the deceased's descendants, estranged or distant family who believe that they are entitled to inheritance by virtue of family ties, or fake relatives who who want to cheat someone out of money. The only time said characters with this attitude are sympathetic is when the deceased is an unpleasant person who most people would only put up with out of necessity or personal gain.

Needless to say, these types of characters will either end up [[PassedOverInheritance not receiving any inheritance]], or, if they do, it will either be a paltry sum, [[OnOneCondition come with sort of condition]], or will [[InheritanceBacklash come kind of downside that makes the inheritance undesirable]].

* ''Film/ElviraMistressOfTheDark'': When Elvira learns that her great-aunt Morgana has died and she was named in the will, Elvira only cares that the potential payout could finace the show she wants to put on in Las Vegas. Elvira then makes an absolute nuisance of herself at the reading, irritating all the people there who actually care about the deceased, but gets her commupance when she discovers that her inheritance is a broken-down old house, a dog that hates her, and what she initally believes to just be an old cookbook.

* Invoked in ''{{Literature/Animorphs}}'', where Tobias is tracked down and invited to his father's will reading along with his newly-discovered cousin. Tobias acts like a tough street kid who doesn't give a damn about his father, since he can't exactly say he's been living as a hawk for months. He also learned the interesting tidbit that [[spoiler:said "cousin" is Visser Three in morph]]. Fortunately his hawk instincts give him a good poker face when the lawyer reveals [[spoiler:his father was Elfangor]], letting him shrug it off as lunacy, demands to know if there's any money involved, and leaves after the lawyer says no. The Yeerks are left convinced Tobias was nothing but a regular human (and a jerk).

A week after their parent's passing, Soma asks Shinuske to give him his share of the inheritance, using his status as [[ParentalFavoritism the favorite]] alongside his upcoming marriage as justification, going so far as to threaten to beat Shinuske. Shinuske laughs and thanks Soma, because Shinuske's inheritance consisted of an apartment that wasn't worth anything but has high property taxes and very few tenants. Worse, even after Soma sells the land, he doesn't make much money due to the costs of clearing it.
