Inheritance is posted free temporarily by Analog for award season--it is nominated for a Locus award. The SF part is straightforward enough--memories can now be extracted and passed on, and our protagonist and the "good daughter" are at their mother's deathbed to see who will get them. The protagonist had a difficult relationship with the mother and is not sure she wants them. We see that difficult relationship in the story. Not earth shattering but it's fine.
