When my grandmother died she left over 7 acres of land to be split up between my father and his 5 brothers and 1 sister. When my father died last year, his share of my grandmother's estate was left to me, my mother, and my sister. My uncle wants us to sign over our share of the estate to him and his reason is because he has spent a lot of money to keep up the estate and paid taxes on it etc. (he's a millionaire mind you). All I asked is for him to buy me out of my share and we can negotiate so he can make me an offer for my share. This seemed like a reasonable proposal from me being that he's a savvy businessman and I am still a struggling student with school loan debts and a family to take care of. He flat out refused, insulted me and my deceased father, and told me that he could take my portion of the land without my consent if he wanted to. He's trying to intimidate me with big time lawyers and strong arm me into giving up my share. Does he have a case? Can he sue me? Am I right?
