[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unless the jewelry is in the Will there is not way to claim rights to it. You can refuse to pay but that also seems very...Klassy [/quote]

To be fair if either there's no will or something's not mentioned in the will (e.g. "I leave A to Larlo, B to Larla, C to Bob, and D to Jane" is in the will but no mention of the $10MM townhouse or $100MM in stock") wouldn't things go to probate where they'd go to the wife, parents, children, or whatever order the next of kin is in that state?

If the sibling charms the decedent into naming sibling in the will, not much that can be done, really.

If the sibling is walking off with $1000s of jewelry, etc., before everything can be disposed of per the will's instructions, isn't that theft? In that case a lawyer is needed, maybe even police, but that's the sort of thing that can really break up a family, be prepared to have sides drawn and to have you possibly be the loser if this sibling is as charming as you say ("Oh, Aunt Millie wanted me to have these things but couldn't get around to putting it into the will, OP is just causing drama!")

IANAL ...[/quote]
