Aunt Karen never seems to learn her lesson. About a year ago, this Redditor shared an epic saga involving the numerous cars he inherited from family members who passed away and his greedy aunt who kept scheming until she and her boyfriend found themselves in jail.

It's funny how weddings and funerals seem to trigger the absolute worst behavior in family members. In one instance, the event in question is supposed to be a joyous, unifying one. In the other instance, the event is supposed to be a somber, reflective one. Though the latter event is a darker one, the death of a family member should in theory be accompanied by some semblance of unity among the rest of the family members.

However, money tends to be the catalyst for making these events become more divisive rather than unifying, and this Redditor saw that situation occur time and time again with multiple family members passing away. Each time tragedy struck, Aunt Karen reemerged and always tried to find a way to get more than what she was given in the wills. We've included both the original post and the update below for your reference. The good news is that even with Karen's arrest and jail time, the story ultimately has a wholesome ending for OP and for the virtuous members of the family.
