well from a guy who has seen not that much money cause stress in a family
you have to ask what is your relationship with the 3 siblings and is it worth changing it over less than 800 dollars.
my dad does some very nice wood work, his cousin cut down a tree about 20 year ago from his moms property had the log milled and then stored the lumber in his moms garage shortly after moves out of state and across the country with no plan to return leaving a pile of things at her house. the lumber sits there for years taking up space she tells her nephew my dad if you can use it get it out of there.
he takes the wood to his shop and uses it to build her an entertainment center first and then some other small stuff but most of the wood went into a piece of furniture for her and is in her home.
dad's cousin is mad to this day wants 700 dollars for the wood and will not talk to my dad , he finally talked to his mother after about 7 years.
you know your family politics better than anyone else , so just ask yourself is it worth what might happen over less than 800 dollars
my dad wasn't close with this cousin and does all sorts of things for his aunt and is close with her, that cousin was mad at his sister and mother for years also, different thing , just the way he is.
he might have just found another reason to be mad at people but added strain over what was maybe 250 dollars in wood that cost him less than half of that and then was left for years with no plan to come back for it.
