[quote=Anonymous]If the lawyer told the the uncle that it was OP's dad's money, I don't understand why people are piling on OP's dad.  Forget about all of the other stuff (favoritism, paintings, jewelry, etc.).  If the money is legally OP's dad's money, why does he have any obligation, moral or otherwise, to give it to OP's cousins?  It seems like it's the uncle who is being greedy.

Anyhow, OP, you are in a tough position.  I would tell your uncle and cousins that you love them and very much want to continue a relationship with them, but that you are not involved in your grandfather's estate issues and cannot act as an intermediary between them and your dad.  I would ask them to respect your relationship with your dad, and that you would like to see if there is a way to move past this between you and your relatives.  I would not engage in the dispute on either side, it is not your fight.  If they won't respect that, I am afraid it might be better off without them.  This is in no way your fault or responsibility, no matter what anyone thinks of your dad.[/quote]
