Some years ago one of my best mates was sent to prison. Before the sentence he gave all his money to a friend of mine. I stood close to him because I needed to know the truth ( all his other friends disappeared at the beginning) I helped him admit his quilt without the need for his accusers to testify. He is soon to be released and recently the person who has looked after his money has given to me saying they have no wish to ever talk to him again. I have talked to his ex wife suggesting that his children should have it., but she too won't touch it. So I am on the horns, this cash was part of his and his wife's she does not want it the person he gave it to does not want it. I took hold of this money because I thought his ex wife would take it. I feel that it is his children that should benefit but how do give it to them with their mothers knowing

it doesn't matter who it belongs to in your eyes - the law says it's either his or his wife's. I don't know the terms on which she gave it to him, but that's up to them to sort out, not you. Hand it to one or the other.
If both of them refuse it then that probably amounts to giving it to you, and you could then do as you pleased with it - but be very careful about that and get everything in writing.

dont do anything, its not your money to distribute, the poor man may be relying on this to make a fresh start, after all he will have paid his debt to society, I presume none of you had the decency to stand by him and visit him in prison or write to him? you have no right to decide where the money goes you are only the keeper. do your duty responsively meet him on the day he returns home hand him the money, tell him whats been going on and who doesn't want it and walk away . I would not call you a best mate at present time.
Treebear I would give him back his money. It really is not up to you to decide where it should go instead. You have tried to do that and it didn't work. You really have no option. You came on here to ask what to do. All those who have said to give him the money are met with reasons why you shouldn't so not sure why you ask if you don't want to hear this.
Whatever you personally think about it, legally the money belongs to the guy who gave it to you to look after. To not give it back is theft.
Like it or not you HAVE to give it back, the moral question is one thing the LEGAL situation is, it is his money so you either give it back or risk being accused of theft.
