YTA and your sister is also TAH – GET REAL
Your father had final wishes written down in a legal document that he paid to have drafted.
He gave each grandkid something, in the case of the granddaughters it was cash. In the case of your son it was a car. By your own words he has a strong close bond with your son and not with his granddaughters.
There is no ‘what’s right’ or ‘fair’ in someone’s will; it’s literally their FINAL wishes. He could’ve also left ALL of them diddly squat and donated it to a charity.
But he choose to do what he did, and now you and your sister because you perceive it as somehow ‘unfair’ are attempting to subvert that, have your son sell HIS inheritance(btw you can’t, it’s legally his property now not your’s even if he can’t drive it) to appease the other grandchildren.
Please remember your Father has zero obligation to give anyone anything and choose to do things as he has. No one was left out and everyone got something. I’m sure your mother is THRILLED you’re all making such a ruckus over this while she’s grieving her dead husband and you’re all comparing and complaining how ‘fair’ it all is or isn’t.
If I was your son I’d be telling you to pound sand, and I hope you realise you’re risking your future relationship with him by what you’re considering doing, and he if he speaks to a lawyer he’s going to find out you actually can’t ‘make’ him sell that car. Since you seem to be stuck on what’s ‘fair’; your threat of dividing his college fund, due to something that was completely out of control is both cruel and unfair to *your son*. If you choose to do that I hope you understand it’s very possible your son will wash his hands of you and want nothing to do with you down the road.
For anyone reading this, THIS exact reason is why you should have a trust instead of a will. Grandad has a will that’s now attempting to he subverted by his children who are unhappy with how Granddad chose to distribute his assets upon his death. Granddad obviously had a stronger bond with one child’s son than he did with his granddaughters, yet still choose to leave them something. If you speak to an estate planning lawyer they will suggest leaving 4-5k to someone you’re related to but not necessarily close to as it’s a sufficient amount to be unable to ‘petition the validity’ of the will. Grandad knew what he was doing.
He wanted that car to go to his grandson and now his adult children are fighting over it, because it’s not ‘fair’.
