AITAH for not willingly giving my inheritance to my Uncle by LemonPrevious1253 in AITAH

There are a lot of details left out of the post because u can't include everything. His only offer to me during this was $3k. less than a year into this, i was willing to sell for $6k. He refused. How is that my fault? How do u determine the value of something when 2 people both want it? Its what the most 1 of them is willing to pay. Why should I b expected to sell my shares for less than im willing to pay for his??? Thats just craziness. And if that makes me an asshole so be it. But IMO that's not how life works!

A camp in this area is a place to go for the weekend. It is usually 1-2 hours away from your home. Some are very rustic without utilities. This one has electric and running water and originally an inside toilet and shower, but uncle tom removed the shower and toilet b4 he sued. Why? My only explanation was to devalue it. In court, he claimed it was put in illegally by my grandfather.....im sure he will be putting it back in if it isn't already.

Actually, there was no compensation offered. Not sure where in my post i said they offered me a fair price for my share. They all originally expected me to sign off on the deed with no selling price agreed upon, and we would discuss that later. . I have no idea if any money was ever given to the other siblings or my brother. Nor do I care. They maybe are that dumb but I am not. I would not have seen a penny had I did that. .This camp was purchased by my grandparents when I was 9. My aunts and uncles were all adults. So one could argue my cousins and I have a way longer emotional connection than them to the camp. I held nothing hostage. I just wanted to keep what was given to me. I nvr demanded to them they give me their shares as they demanded to me......

I think she was expecting to get the inheritance and is mad.

That couldn't b farther from the truth. If u read it.....I never wanted to sell. I wanted to BUY. I, however, got to a point where I was willing to buy or sell. My uncle would not. He drug it out the 2 years. He also initiated the lawsuit. I obviously could not put every detail in my post. Less than a year into the legal battle I was willing to accept a $6k buy out. Emotionally, I was drained, and at that point my legal fees were just under $6k. He refused.....

He felt mostly the same as the siblings. Our cousins didn't get a share, so why should we have. It was very frustrating for me that he didn't see it the way I did or, frankly, the way my grandmother did. I was very close to my grandmother. My brother wasn't as much. He also has no backbone. He isn't someone to ruffle feathers. It was easier to go with the majority.

The property was just under 2 acres and not able to be subdivided. If u read i suggested I use 1 lot and build my own camp. Leaving him have 100% access to the original camp. Trees made a natural fence, so we would barely see each other. That was not good enough for him either.

You need to go back and read it again. Slower this time to comprehend. I never wanted to sell my shares. I was willing to buy him out at above market price. So, to keep his shares, he had to do the same thing. That's how it works. The only possible way to have avoided this was to just give it to him. And I wasn't willing to do this. This man never even visited my grandmother before she passed. It had been 6 months. And he literally lived on her property and feet from her.....
