How families navigate impact investing with inherited money and competing values

My siblings and I inherited Dad's small investment portfolio and want to transition it toward impact investing to honor his environmental values, but we can't agree on whether to prioritize climate solutions, social justice, or keeping some traditional investments for stability. Each of us thinks we understand what Dad would have wanted, and the conversations keep turning into arguments about who knew him best rather than what actually makes sense financially.
