[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As many pp pointed out, your dad is right on principle and your uncle + cousins appear to be very greedy and entitled.  Why would you want harmony with people like that who had screwed over your dad twice?! [/quote]

Yeah, I was initially with Team Uncle, but I switch now. OP, both your dad and your uncle sound bad, but your uncle is worse. Your uncle basically stole from your dad. Your dad kinda sorta let it go but rubbed your uncle's face in it on occasion. Now your uncle could right his wrong but is choosing not to. Your dad could say "Look, everybody, I'm just tired of his lying and stealing and it ends now" but [b]instead he is pretending he has a higher purpose. [/b]I think you should just tell your cousins that you are staying out of it. As they should too. It's between your dad and uncle.[/quote]

I feel sorry for your dad that he feels that he can't just tell his brother that he (the brother) needs to disburse 50% of the investment income because the original funds belonged to their mother, whose estate was passed on to the two of them equally.

Does the family understand that your dad has a legal right to these funds? I'm wondering if the lack of support for your dad comes from a place of not understanding the legalities of the situation. If so, maybe if a lawyer explained the situation to everyone in a calm fashion, or maybe if there was even a written explanation form a lawyer that could be sent to the family members, maybe they would then come around and be kinder to your dad.

How elderly are your dad and his brother?
