I am the oldest and the executor to my Mother's will and have 4 sisters. My family has been in an uproar since Mom died because she left 2 sister a substantially smaller inheritance due to the strained relationships she had with them during her life. Mom had been very sick with cancer and died 6 months after her diagnosis. I had been there daily for her and my 2 estranged sisters actually made up with her in the end. Which I thought was great.
A month later I was asked to a "sister's meeting" where I was asked to "rip up" Mom's will and do as we please. I had never seen her will but when I read it I just knew I couldn't destroy it. She had made educational provisions for her grandchildren in it. She had been a huge advocate for women and higher education throughout her life and this was something I could see her doing. My sisters said that we should just slit it 5 ways and be done with it. I feel this was very disrepectful and felt like they were undermining me. I decided to probate the will and have be crucified ever since. I had said after probate we could give back monies to the two sisters but after all this I don't know what I will do. I have said all along that money doesn't equal love but these girls seem to think that since we are not all equal then Mom loved some more than others.
