If You're Reading a Case in ContractsAnd see the words 'aunt' or 'uncle'

You can almost bet on a few things happening. The aunt or uncle will promise a gift to a nephew or niece, die, the gift will not have been made before that death, and the nephew or niece will be screwed out his/her money by the courts. (Or someone will try to screw the poor guy out of his money.) Some people would say they were not screwed because the money was never theirs to begin with.
