My uncle took care of my grandmother's bookkeeping. For years we have been trying to get our hands on it, because we don't trust him. He has been refusing. He did send the solicitor who deals with the inheritance/will some papers and they send it to us. From those papers it looks like our suspicions were right.
However, he finally agrees to hand over copies of the bookkeeping. But, since there are a lot of papers he wants fifty cents per copy and ninety euros per hour for the copying. He estimates the total cost will add up to €1500.
I suspect he does this to discourage us from taking him up on his offer. Or he wants the money to pay his lawyer (my father and aunt don't want my grandmother's estate to pay for his legal costs).
He made the offer to the solicitor, who has been trying to get the papers for us, a while ago. But they didn't let us know until we called to ask something yesterday. They didn't think we would agree with it and didn't consider it to be a real offer.
