The best thing to do is have NO CONTACT with this man and his family.

I come from a developed European country, and my uncle STILL managed to steal my mother and my aunts's inheritance. This can always happen in families where the male heir is set up on a pedestal and his sisters have had it ingrained into them early on that they have no rights, even when they do!

There is no need to fight this for so little money and so little chance of winning. But there is great need to say:

"Uncle, we cannot receive you in our home. You have stolen and profited from my mother's property and never made restitution. You are a thief and stole from a vulnerable member of your family whom you should have protected. Shame on you. We disown you."

+1. Agree completely but OP's DH is not on board. [/quote]

PP you were responding to - I understand that the husband is waffling, which is a sign he's scared stiff. OP needs to step up.

A little more about my family inheritance feud. I stepped up. None of my aunts or mother were willing to go up against my uncle, his powerful friends and his overbearing wife. I researched the exact article of law that should have protected my aunts' and mother's inheritance and convinced them they had to go see a reputable lawyer. The last lawyer they had seen was a friend of their brother's! Duh. The matter was solved in court rapidly, except that the inheritance, after more than a quarter century, was down to practically nothing. The important thing is that my aunts and mother were vindicated in public. The family split between supporters of my aunts and supporters of my uncle, who is a well-known figure in my country and will always have followers and hangers-on no matter what he does. The other side hates us and my cousin even threatened us with the mafia.
I don't regret doing what I did. Someone had to correct the unfairness.
