If this is really about some pieces of furniture, maybe honest misunderstanding that blew up?
After the passing of a grandparent I took some items home that I thought I was saving from being thrown out with the trash, but it turned out a sibling really wanted them and felt wronged that I had taken them without their approval.
I think GP's situation is more serious than this, but in some cases maybe honest misunderstandings plus digging in heels causes some unnecessary grief.
- denton-scratch 5y agoWhen my great-aunt died, there was some money which got divided up in a simple way; and a number of artifacts - furniture, nice crockery, jewellery. Most of the other heirs were women, so no jewellery for me. For the artifacts, we had a sort of auction: "Who wants this chinese vase?" I would have liked that vase, and I got the fuzzy end of the lollipop in that auction. I went away with a few articles of sentimental value, but no cash value. I reckon I got a good deal. When my father died, it was even easier; the will was a mess, if you ask me, but my sister was executor, and she did a really good job. He had been in a care home, and had already disposed of most of his personal posessions. My siblings all played very nicely, and edge cases were settled very amicably. In fact, if anything, it brought us all together. Make a will, and use a lawyer.
