Luke 12:13-15
13 Then one from the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.” 14 But He said to him, “Man, who made Me a judge or an arbitrator over you?” 15 And He said to them, “Take heed and beware of covetousness, for one's life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses.”
We should not fight over and focus on what we will get when our parents die, but on what we will get when we each die. Our lives are not in the visible, but the intangible - the things Jesus spoke of as the kingdom. Do we love God first and in our words and actions love others as we love ourselves? Do we deal with each other by the golden rule, or do we seek only to get more for ourselves at any cost? God tells us to watch out and to count the cost.
