Okay important background information: My grandmother died in 2012. The executor of the will said that there was no money after final expenses. My mother, aunt and uncle hired a lawyer to force him to do accounting to prove that there was no more money. And surprise the executor cannot account for over $300,000 USD.

Here's the rub, my parents asked for their share of the trust before my grandmother died to buy a house. So my mother won't be entitled any of the money anyways. My parents have already paid $3000 to get the accounting of the trust and now she wants to do a civil lawsuit to get the money back. However the best she could get is her lawyer fees taken of.

My mother wants justice to be done but I feel like she just sinking her money into something and she never get it back. The executor has made it clear that he spent all the money and he has no major assets.

Would I be an asshole if I told my mom to cut her loses and let the people who have something to gain take it court?
