Ethical question involving money...

No will was left, which means he didnt plan. So, as you said, alot goes to lawyers. HOWEVER, your uncle DOES care, and is willing to share. As your grandfather never made plans for his death, it defaults to the executor. so, it is guilt free. And, if you STILL feel guilty taking it, donate it to CRYER

I agree 100%

i'd take it, just look at it like it was a relative you didn't know you had that died so the estate would naturally go to kin.

Since he died Intestate (No Will), the state has a lot of say in how the money is divided up. It goes to direct blood relations first. So you should take the money. After all if he did not want you to have it, he would have left a will, ergo deep down he wanted you to have some of it.
