“Family Feud Erupts: Sisters Cut Brother Out of Inheritance—What Really Sparked the Controversy?”
Sometimes it can be ok for one child to get more

There is an argument to be made for less-equal distribution of an inheritance. A child who is still in college could benefit from money a lot more than a person with a steady income. Equity is not always the same as equality. But, as we see from the grandmother, it would appear that Jason simply gets special treatment without any real reasoning behind it.
It’s quite telling that his main takeaway from the death of the father is “I was expecting that inheritance to pay my late property taxes.” Setting aside that even if he was getting something, it would come too late for him (as detailed by the person who shared the story in the comments,) this is just a callous way to approach a death in the family.
More than likely, Jason is in dire financial straits. He doesn’t have a job but refuses to find any ways to create income. No doubt he has gotten used to a lazy lifestyle and is now worried about paying the one major expense he still has. After all, property taxes don’t just disappear, he has to know he would be expected to pay them into perpetuity.
Jason needs to grow up because the “free money” will end one way or another

As so often is the case with people who only know how to spend their money, he has not budgeted anything to cover this incredibly predictable expense. The idea that his grandmother would have to bail him out is both embarrassing and, unfortunately, quite telling. He no doubt knows that certain family members will always turn a blind eye to his entitlement and just cover what he owes.
