It seems clear that mother intended, according to her will, each of her seven grandchildren to have an equal sum of money.

(Actually this is what grandparents often do. They think it's fair on the kids.)

Do you honestly believe that your one son/daughter should have been left three times as much as each of the cousins? would that have seemed fairer to you?

Don't see how you arrive at this opinion from what I have said. The grandchildren's money, from our mothers savings, will be divided 7 ways with each getting one 7th. Their money is separate from the house money sale. Nobody in the family, including me, disputes this. That was her wish in the will and very fair imo. No expences incured by my sisters as executors will be taken from their money it will come from mine which is fine by me.

I am talking only about the division of the house sale money which was left a equal three way split by my mother to me and my two sisters. It has now been agreed that our mothers will be adhered to and I have a third of the house sale, less their expences as executors.

Thanks for everybody's advice in his matter.
