money gift or loan

[sallyfry]

I recieved a large sum of money from a grandfather many years ago (10plus) his children are now saying I need to pay it back. He is still living but not in good health. Is there a law that protects me from paying this back as they are trying to make me do?

Not enough details

What kind of documentation do you have? What kind of documentation do they have. Was it a loan? Did the grandfather himself ask you to pay it back? What were the circumstances under which you were given the money? What state are you in? Have you talked to the grandfather about this situation? A question like yours can't be answered without details.
