Sorry for your loss stagpanther. My grandfather passed 6 years ago and my uncle tried to do these very things. 180 acre family farm had been in a trust for years. Grandpa had it written up a certain way on how and IF it could be sold. Uncle wanted his money NOW. He was a pallbearer when his oldest brother (my uncle died). While we were yet waiting outside the funeral parlor he said to me "We can finally get the ball rolling on this". Casket wasn't even closed yet. A real POS.
It's been 3 years since and he has gotten his due. Reap what you sow. I know his life is miserable.
When my Dad died though he promised to me when I was young I'd get all his guns. A few years before he passed he told me he wanted to make it fair for my sister and give her 50% value. Hurt me to my core. But, they were his to do with what he wanted. He gave me most of the best guns - fewer but more collectible - which is what I wanted. He specifically asked in the paperwork he drew up to split things, he requested his guns be passed down to children and grandchildren. Mom tells me my sister wants to sell hers. Couldn't be more p!$$ed, but also not surprised. I split everything just as my Dad wished. But, my sister is the drama queen get what she wants PITA.
Told my mother that after she passes I will never speak to my sister again - and I won't.
I completely get it. Wish you the best.
