[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would rather have my cousins and my uncle than the money. My siblings feel the same. The money is not a life changing amount when divided between six of us. I told my father that I don’t need it or want it under these circumstances. If my father secretly needs it for himself, he should let us know. It’s wrong for him to pretend that he is fighting for us. [/quote]

This was the position I took with my sister on a similar issue. It didn't work. She still feels entitled and I still feel shorted and our children, who know about the discrepancy, also resent it. It's better to work it out fairly if possible, even if you don't really need the money. [/quote]

I don’t want to be cold, but my father is angry with his brother and will die in maybe five years at the most having damaged how the family sees him. My uncle will also die soon, but my cousins will live forty or fifty more years. That’s a very long time for my siblings and I to be estranged from family. It will impact our children as well. I can’t accept this money and I cringe to think that our father will brag about how he dragged his brother through court for us. [/quote]

I would CRINGE if my dad stole his mother's money for his Get Rich Scheme Loans.

I would CRINGE if my dad told everyone the loan was worthless, sorry, pretend it doesn't exist at the estate disbursement time.  Yes he deserved to be ridiculed.

I would CRINGE if my dad hid from his siblings the fact that Grandma's loan was profitable and to be paid pack in full.

I would CRINGE if my dad refused to give his siblings their share of their mother's loan. No matter what people may have said in the interim about my dad's terrible behavior.

I would CRINGE to think about all the other schemes my dad has swindled grandma and others on. This type of person is relentlessly selfish and corrupt. [/quote]
