When my Grandfather passed away suddenly last April, my mom had to pay for all of the cost associated with the funeral.

My mom has a brother, but he lives far away in another country and claimed he could not help with the funeral expenses or even get here in time for the funeral Mass at the church.

Of course, he was able to come to the neighborhood when they would be declaring the contents of the will. My Grandfather left everything he had to my mom except for the car, which he willed to my uncle. My mom’s brother was shocked plus devastated and it was obvious he left the lawyer’s office feeling downright miserable. I wasn’t surprised when he retained the services of an estate lawyer to sue for half of everything my grandpa had. He felt that it was his right to have half of the money no matter what the will stated. My mom had to also retain the services of an attorney to help with the court case plus the items grandpa left behind went into probate. It’s 13 months later now plus my uncle is still fighting my mom and going against the wishes of my grandpa. He’s just tying up all of the money with lawyers fees. Every time my poor mom thinks the ordeal is over, his lawyer files another injunction. My mom even tried to settle, but he wasn’t willing to; I think it’s because my uncle is just miserable that my Grandfather didn’t seem to remember him. I do not recognize it’s about the money or the actual items. I am sorry his feelings are hurt and he feels that this is the only outlet for those emotions. In all reality, though, the temper tantrum over the estate is a terrible way to grieve the loss of your dad.
