At my mothers wake, my cousin came up to me and asked if I would sell her my Moms house. Then, at the cemetary, she asked for some things of my Moms for her and my Aunt. Timing is everything

That's why you need a will where it is stated clearly any one contesting your last will and testament it totally cut out.

And your cousins timing sucks...as does her courtesy.
These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

Minor thing. My kid a couple of weeks ago called to tell me that his car crapped out and was asking for a small loan to get something else.
I mentioned it to my wife. We'd been thinking of getting her a new car for several months. She suggested we pull the trigger on the new car (see my other thread from last night) and give him her old car (2005 Forester).
Good deal. It's reliable, gets good mileage, well maintained. He's trying to get on he feet after being unemployed for a while. He would have gotten another beater and I'd rather he have something reliable so he can get back and forth to work. He's agreed to pay Lisa a nominal amount for the car.
He picked it up yesterday and was very grateful. He posted on his FB page how happy he was.
Well my wife's nephew apparently thought that he was going to get the car. My wife mentioned that we were thinking of get a new car several (like before Christmas) months ago and he expressed interest. It's her car and I wasn't aware of this. But I probably would have counseled her against giving it to him. Sell for a really low price, maybe. Not give it to him
So after seeing my kids post, the nephew took a mild [bleep] on my kids page. Also about how disappointing he was and how he was counting on it. Now I don't think Lisa and he have talked since a couple of months or so ago when she said she wasn't going to be getting a car for a while (before the recent events with the our kid).
Now, my wife should have told the nephew what was happening. But it all happened pretty quick and she didn't. And it's not like the nephew doesn't have a car (I think he might have two). He's got himself in financial problems and she's pretty sure he'd just sell it or one of the others.
Anyway, rather than just calling us and asking us what's up it's become a mild bitch fest.
Anyway, it got my nose out of joint.
I just needed to 'anonymously' vent.

I just needed to 'anonymously' vent. Its always nice to find out what your relatives are really like. Don't look back and write him off.

Better timing maybe, but don't see a problem with either case otherwise. Selling the house to a cousin and keeping it in the family could be a win/win all the way around for you.
As to the car, why your child by all rights should take priority over a nephew.... proper thing to do would have been to explain it to th nephew first since he'd already been negotiating with your wife.

In my family when someone passes away the guns they own "disappear" and nobody knows anything.

Been through it twice with my brother, at our ages we end up saying "I don't want it, you take it" because we're old enough that we really don't have any more room for "stuff". We did split our Fathers small gun collection according to his wishes before he passed away, it was an equitable and mutually agreeable division.

It seems sometimes the vultures are circling before the body even gets cold. A will is a must. I have seen familys split forever over dividing up stuff that would not bring 200 bucks at a yard sale.
Whatever price you have to pay to find out what REALLY lurks in the hearts of friends and relatives, it is worth the money.

Ive got 2 brothers like that, my dad bought a place in WV, was nice enough to split it and give myself and my brothers each a 1/4, through out 10 years those 2 treated it like a vacation property, never cut wood, or the grass, or do any of the maintenance a place 2 miles from anywhere needs, would just show up, hunt and leave. My Dad tells me and everyone else he is leaving his share to me, sadly he passed away in 2005, I inherited his 1/4 along with the mineral rights, now those 2 are all butt hurt because their not seeing the pay day Iam from leasing the gas rights, to bad, I could care less, if they had gotten off their lazy asses and not showed up at 8pm the day before deer season and turkey season, not to mention not going down in the summer to make sure the place was ready to hunt out of Dad would have included them in the will, F them. They made their bed, now they can lay in it!

When my dad's step father passed away the youngest son who
never came around unless he needed money showed up and started
loading things into his car from the house. My grandmother
stopped him and told him to put everything back.

Mike That one little clause saved our bacon when the mother in-law checked out. One of the sisters was going to go for it until my wife pointed out that simple clause to her again. We had real peace in the family real quickly.
