And...if you get out free and clear...DON'T LEND MONEY TO RELATIVES! You'll be put on the bottom of the list. Ask if they might consider giving you a payment ocasionally and you'll become an instant A$$HOLE!
Very true. I lent my brother some money once, with his promise that he'd pay it off within a few weeks. Few weeks past, and nothing. Every time I approached him on it, he'd say he'll pay back when he can, and become annoyed. When you have no leverage, you are on the bottom of the pay back list. It only causes family strife.
