AITA for not splitting the inheritance with my siblings after finding out I was the only one who didn’t screw over our dad?

My dad died about six months ago. I’m 29F, the youngest of four. My older siblings are 35F, 37M, and 40F. We weren’t a super close family, especially with my dad, he was strict, cold, kind of hard to be around. But in the last few years, I was the only one who stayed in touch with him. I’d check in, help out with errands, sit with him during appointments, that kind of thing.

The rest of my siblings gradually drifted off. I figured they just had their reasons and never pushed it. I thought we were all on decent enough terms.

When he passed, I was shocked to learn he’d left everything to me, the house, car, and around $300k in savings. The will was updated a year before he died, and it’s completely legal. I didn’t ask for that. I didn’t expect it. Honestly, I thought we’d all get an equal share.

The day after the funeral, my siblings sat me down and just assumed I’d divide everything four ways. I told them I wasn’t going to. That’s when the drama started.

Turns out, they hadn’t just drifted. They had all pulled some shady stuff with my dad over the years , one borrowed money and ghosted him, one tried to get him to co-sign a loan and went no-contact when he refused, and one literally forged his signature on an insurance thing. I had no idea. But apparently, my dad did.

He never said anything to me about it. He just changed his will and left everything to me, the one who stuck around and didn’t lie to him.

Now they’re calling me selfish and manipulative. Saying he wasn’t in his right mind (he absolutely was sharp until the end). One of them hinted at legal action but dropped it once they saw the paperwork. I haven’t touched the money yet. Part of me feels guilty. Another part of me feels like this is the one time he actually showed he saw me, and I don’t want to undo that.

I wanna mention that i didnt have a bad relationship with my siblings , we were alright , but when i found out what they did to OUR dad , it just broke my heart… AITA?
