The level of resentment and entitlement like somebody owes them

To this day I find it unbelievable the level of resentment and entitlement like somebody actually owes them something. Now he's complaining about a late relative who didn't leave them enough inheritance and is trying to say their incompetence cost them money. Should be so lucky he's getting any.

Part of the problem is that with ANY money issue he is nosey to be the point of being rude/ignorant actually asking people things about their finances, business dealings and of course inheritance. Like a child sometimes "What did you get what did you get". But this leads to comparison when it comes to his personal dealings and matters. 'Well so and so got this'. Well that's so and so, not you. "Yeah but if they had set up their finances better/differently decades ago I could've gotten more". But he is constantly nosing into peoples finances and is very careful to whom he tells his version of events in order to portray himself as a victim. He's has a hired lawyer but is taking more unofficial advice & commentary from his lawyer & business friends than his actual lawyer.

It is that sense of entitlement and "victimization" that somebody cost him this getting quite tiresome.

Can you ignore it? It's been this way for awhile. It doesn't look like it's going to change. Can you change your response?

It will be much easier to ignore by years end. Any associated dealing business or personal will be concluded by then. Because of myself and others moving they will no longer have a local crash pad or an excuse to stop and drink with local acquaintances or bars/hangouts. If they do they must pay for a taxi or risk a dui driving home drunk. Where they live is not a quick or short ride for most of their friends. If they want favors from someone in this area it will have to be from a friend or they'll have to pay. Their moaning they won't have local storage now. For the first time in the lives they will have to facilitate themselves including all the logistics of their life. No family or friends basement to store stuff in. Uh-oh, not only will they have to pay for a storage they'll have to take the time to find a unit. It's frequently been about their convenience only.. If they want convenience they'll have to pay for it with their time and money.

Sounds like the move will allow you some peace from the situation as well.
