so sorry for your pain
Quote From: msoutthere I know how devestating it can be to lose your your family legacy and "willed" possessions to a sibling who want give up personal and owned possessions of the deceased parent. In my case, my mother named my baby sister as "Executor" of her will, there were 4 other older children. We all played a very important part of our mothers life. We visited weekly and drove her to do her shopping and for doctor visits. We have weekly family dinners and birthday get togethers every other month. We all really loved one another and were always there for each other to lend a helping hand. When our mother passed, our baby sister, who immediately claimed our mothers (basement) apartment as off limits to the rest of her siblings, she even called the police to have us removed when we visited her one day to work on moms business and belongins. She wanted no help from any of us to move things along concerning the Will. She would not probate the Willm she would not settle anything our mom had requested in her Will. She took us to court to make us pay back to the estate, the value of 4 cemetary plots our Mom had wanted us to have. The plots were next to and around her resting place. Our younger sister will not communicate with us and has kept everything our mom had wanted divided up and wanted us to have. And, to make it worse, our younger sister knew of our moms verbal wishes as well and the written ones. She has completely distant herself from any association with the rest of the family. We have tried to communicate with her but she refuses to talk about this issue with us. We are so hurt and have had to get use to the fact that our moms legacy and life, with pictures and personal items, will never be in our lives again. It is destroying us mentally and so unfair to our children and grandchildren. This is so sad and even more sad that your Mother didn't recognize that she needed to appoint a more responsible Executor or Co-Executor and do the right thing. I would certainly encourage you and your sisters to see an attorney if the will was not carried out as written. You should not allow your sister to get by with this as there are consequences for this type illegal behavior. I thank God my sister carried out my Mom's wishes; I was the youngest and lived far away and it was not feasible for me to be the Executor anyway. Sounds as though you have a very selfish, conniving baby sister.
