[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here... my uncle consulted a lawyer and legally the money is my father's. I don't know exactly what the will said, but it had something to do with this account and the way it was set up. The original money was a gift to my grandfather from another family member and I guess my grandfather forgot about it and left the money there to grow for like 60 years.

So the issue here is a moral one, not a legal one.

I should add there is more behind him keeping the money - but I don't think this necessarily makes it right. My grandmother had a couple nice pieces of jewelry as well as one very expensive piece of artwork. After she passed away, my aunt claimed all the jewelry for herself, along with the painting. My grandfather willingly gave it all to her, but my dad was pissed because they all had a significant value and he just thought it was unfair since he would have loved to give some of it to my sisters and I. My aunt left the jewelry to my cousins, and the painting is hanging in my uncle and aunt's house. So my dad sees this as his half of those items.

I really want to stay out of this but my cousins and uncle keep trying to drag me in to get to my dad. I know he will not change his mind.[/quote]

He's being petty,  but I totally get it, as the less favored child in my family. Hell, I would probably do the same thing because a lifetime of being shafted while my sister was spoiled by my parents has driven me to that. [/quote]
