[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What does "wrote I think off' so to speak" mean?  Not obvious your dad doesn't have a claim.

I'd just keep my head down and be nice to everyone.[/quote]

When my grandmother died, my father and brother had a small quarrel over the loan. It looked like a bad investment and my father wanted my uncle to deduct the entire value from my uncle’s half. My uncle was not willing to do that. Eventually, my father made a big deal of saying the loan amount didn’t matter. I know he has brought this up at least a few times as if rubbing in to my uncle that he was the bigger man and could spare the money. Only now that the payoff is coming, he has reopened it. [/quote]

Well, I have no idea about the legal aspects of all this but it sounds like this is a "brother conflict" but your dad is trying to make it sound like he is doing you a favor. I'm not sure what you should do other than tell your dad (and maybe your other relatives) that you don't appreciate your dad pretending like he is doing this for your benefit.

I'm also not clear what happens if he gets it and leaves it to you. Surely you can give it to your cousins if you want but I think then someone will have to pay taxes on it.[/quote]
