To clarify a bit further, it won't go to relatives if they're not at least friends with them as well, and maybe need to be best friends (I'm not sure on that point). And the better the relationship, the higher the amount, I believe. Other best friends will also get some amount, though not as much as family.
You are right, Jsalemi. I gave Olive Specter the Elixire, to give her some time to befriend Nervous. Meanwhile, she became a best friend with the teen of my own created family. She couldn't befriend Ophelia, because I sent her fast to college. When Olive died, only Nervous, my teen, and another best friend got her heritage. Not Ophelia.
J. M. Pescado:
If all your residents die on your lot, the account and value of the lot are lost to the void. "Inheritances" granted at death are purely based on ASP and rel, and come from the "insurance company". Someone must survive the process in order to avoid the total loss of the lot value. Thus, it makes no sense to move the elders out on their own, because the money will simply be all lost.
Also, lone elders are hellaboring in Simland, and don't get to do anything interesting, especially on their own. Keep them with the grandkids, at least they'll have something to do.

I included a rec building housing a bowlilng alley, pool table, poker table, games, etc. thinking that might keep them busy. But this is a new lot concept so am not sure how that will work out.
Keeping the elders with their grandkids has benefits - and conflicts. First time I did that and the grandparents died (within minutes of each other), the children were so distraught that I was tears. Sobbing kids get to me, even if they're just pixel people.

This way you can keep them alive until the grandkids are in College, and then kill them off when the kids need extensions on their term papers.

in my game Coral and herb oldie Just died right after Mary Sue and Daniel Transitioned to elder it sent the toddler into aspiration failure but a quick skill session reversed it.Daniel manged to "fall in love "with Coral Oldie in a weeks time and swore she was "cheating" on him when she kissed Herb so my experience is that the elder parents can be a help and a headache when they live with their adult children. that said I always delete groups cache file . it regenerates anyway everytime you boot up the game. but it does help save the game from crashing. also the saved sim file can cause headaches if there is a corrupt file in there best way to check it is copy the file to a safe place delete the old file and boot up the game if the game doesnt crash you know the problem was there
