Old man leaves $50k inheritance and 3 bedroom apartment to neighbor instead of his bio kids, they threaten the neighbor to “do the right thing”: “Give us the apartment”

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. We all would love to be given a large inheritance. I always find stories like that insane, where some high schooler's grandpa just leaves them an enormous fund after they pass away. What is someone so young supposed to do with that kind of money? I had a friend in high school who came into a great fortune after a family member passed, and to be honest I think it sort of ruined his life a bit. He stopped trying in school, he just didn't care about his future anymore. He got a financial adviser to invest for him, so he used that base amount to just make tons of money every year, but his life was empty. He didn't have to work, he didn't have to really do anything. These days, I don't know where he is or what he's doing, but the moral of the story is that money corrupts people.

In the story below, it's about inheritance and money, but it didn't go to the family. An old man passes and instead of leaving his fortunes and assets with his children, he leaves it to his neighbor, a man who's been there for him while he's old and lonely. His children live far away, so this is part of it, but you'll have to read the full story for all the juicy details.

AITAH for refusing my late neighbor's adult kids his house after he left me most of his inheritance?

It's a little evil of this old man to give his neighbor his inheritance. I understand that he's close with his neighbor, and that his children live far away, but they're still his children. They're related, and maybe his children live far away because he hasn't been the best father, but I don't know.
