[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What does "wrote I think off' so to speak" mean?  Not obvious your dad doesn't have a claim.

I'd just keep my head down and be nice to everyone.[/quote]

When my grandmother died, my father and brother had a small quarrel over the loan.[b] It looked like a bad investment and my father wanted my uncle to deduct the entire value from my uncle’s half. [u]My uncle was not willing to do that.[/u][/b] Eventually, my father made a big deal of saying the loan amount didn’t matter. I know he has brought this up at least a few times as if rubbing in to my uncle that he was the bigger man and could spare the money. Only now that the payoff is coming, he has reopened it. [/quote]

Your uncle invested with half his and half your father's money, against your father's wishes.  Your father is entitled to the returns, and the fact that your cousins will be upset with you if your father gets what he's legally entitled to is nuts.  Your uncle should be able to steal from your father's share of the inheritance to make investments your father wants no part of, and then keep all the proceeds for himself?  How does that make sense?  How is your whole family on the side of the guy who stole from his brother?  Just because this gamble paid off?[/quote]

No. My uncle invested my grandmother’s money before she died. It was meant to be a short term injection of capital that would be paid back. My father did not know about the loan until after my grandmother died. [/quote]

OP, do you realize this makes your uncle much worse? He took money from a dying old woman in secret. Your uncle sounds like a real manipulative jerk and your cousins seem to the same thing. I'm sure your dad isn't perfect but in this case he is absolutely in the right.[/quote]

Yep.

I don't care if OP is female or male, but her/his values are really messed up. [/quote]
