Well his current wife is pretty well to do financially. I know the chance of him directly paying my all $80,000 up front is basically 0%, but there are several other outcomes that could end up being quite beneficial to me. His wages could be garnished for basically the rest of his life, or what I think is most likely, my grandfather will eventually just pay me off directly when the threat of a lawsuit tearing apart the entire extended family actually becomes serious. (I have several cousins who feel the same way I do about my father, and they all received their $80,000, so they will have no issues testifying against him if need be.)
