fake relatives

if a person becomes rich 

then a bureaucracy might try to change paperwork to create fake relatives of that person 

so that if that person dies 

then those fake relatives could inherit that person's money 

so that fake relatives could be used to control that money 

if a person becomes popular 

then a bureaucracy might try to change paperwork to create fake relatives of that person 

so that if that person dies 

then those fake relatives could be used to control situation that ensues 

if a person becomes valuable 

then a bureaucracy might try to change paperwork to create fake relatives of that person 

so that those fake relatives could be used to control person 

these practices are probably more common than most people realize 

and is not necessarily because of bureaucratic corruption 

but could be standard procedure in some scenarios 

so don't care too much about some newfound relatives that weren't known before 

and don't care too much about relatives you feel no kinship to
