[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People are so weird about this. DH's aunt started TAKING things from her mother's home when she was in her late 90s. And sought a lawyer's advice on the will (who advised her that she had no case) - all over a pittance. What I make in half a year. FIL was executor and has the patience of a saint.[b] There are some deep-seated emotional issues, sibling rivalries that arise when a parent dies.[/b][/quote]

Yes to the bold.  My MIL has barely spoken to her sister since their mother died.  She claims her sister "stole" all her mother's belongings and wouldn't let her take things she wanted.  My MIL lived out of the country, so her sister settled the estate I think.  I have no idea who is right and who is wrong, but it's really sad to me.  Clearly there are other issues at play here.  But my MIL loves to preach that all she ever wants is "having the whole family together" when in fact she barely sees her own sister, who my DH tells me used to be her best friend.  Clearly you don't value family that much or you'd find a way to mend what's wrong.

Drop your dukes, be generous, and move on.[/quote]
