VetTechJess,
Your scenario is vague and hypothetical so it's hard to give any useful concrete advice. I would say to just judge any request for money (from your relatives or otherwise) on its merits.
It sounds like you're fretting about a problem that you don't currently have and may never have. Why not make your millions and work out who deserves a cut as you go?

If you answered yes, then you shouldn't have a problem giving your money to relatives.
Giving your money to charity is essentially giving your money to someone you don't even know. Poor people and homeless people are not necessarily any nicer than your "gold-digger" relatives. |
They may not be nicer, but they
are more needy. You essentially seem to be saying that all people, all needs and all giving is interchangeable. This is just completely off the beam.
And, if you know that your relatives are of below-average niceness then, by definition, strangers are likely to be nicer.
