31. I'm sorry that you had to deal with this.
At least most of your relatives were acting like family. The uncle sounds like a petty, insecure fool.

I have been fortunate with my own family, but there's been nothing of monetary value to disperse and I do believe that makes it a bit easier. The sentimental stuff had mostly been pre-assigned by the deceased.
