cos i dont want my son growing up without grandparents so we will see.

Sorry - I think I've missed something vital here!

Are you saying you would stop your parents (or they would want to stop seeing your son) because you've fallen out over an inheritance that happened 10 ish years ago!

Also - you said that one of your sisters didn't inherit as she wasn't born! This happened with our youngest sibling - we all voluntarily repooled and split to ensure he didn't miss out!

To be honest, if your family is as dysfunctional (on both sides) as you state, then you've nothing more to lose from persuing this - by the sounds of it you've already lost all family trust and dignity.

No i am not saying that I would stop them seeing him, but for the whole of his life i dont think they have visited us more than 4 times at home it is always us taking him to them. so obviously if I dont feel welcome I would be less inclined to take him round but would never stop them seeing him.

my sister was born 4 years after, my brother had already spent his, mine i dunno what state it was in and the younger brother isnt much older than her so not had his but i dont no where his is, ie it could be in the house??

NAR can you show your working on that calculation - ta

Apologies my figure is a little out, calculation is £6140 approx.
140(160-20) x 2.5 divided by 57 (all in 'ooo's); hope thats clear.

Bottom line is the money should have been given to you and your parents know they have been caught out. Of course you want an amicable settlement, but you shouldn't be shortchanged either!

As your mother wasn't the only executor are you going to involve your uncle and family in finding out the exact figures as if I recall correctly the will was 50/50?

Ahh i see it is easy once you have it written down for you. I think maybe i will show them that working out, although that figure would be nice, i dont think i could "demand" that

I also think its a classic example as to why people should put in the age of 25 rather than 18 as the OP themselves admit to spending unwisely. You say they didn't sort this out when you were 18 but then you aren't sure what you spent the money on so perhaps you were carried away with the thought of spending the amount of money you did get at that time and didn't listen?

I have a copy of the estate accounts so I no what the exact figure should have been, my mother dealt with our trust soley as agreed with my uncle.

If i was going to do anything via legal routes then yes I would have to involve my uncle but I dont want that, i wouldnt do that n shudnt ave to go to those extremes.

A large majority of it was spent before i was 18, as had to be agreed with the trustees ie, moped/car and cash for educational needs (I dont no what that is)

But it should have been sorted when I was 18 as per the will,

Did you have any school trips / holidays? Or have a PC bought for you to do your homework? Or a bicycle that you used to ride to school?
