[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here: the will is 50/50, share and share alike, including the house. I have confronted my sister. She always has an excuse. "Mom was going to give it to a cousin," "It was grandma's and we were closer, yada, yada yada"[b] Even when I've accepted a gift from mom my sister finds out and gets so upset that mom asks me to return said item.[/b]
I've basically stopped speaking to sister, except as concerns our mom's care. She is also taking $ by convincing mom her house is going to be foreclosed or her kids will have to drop out of college, none of it true. There's really nothing I can do, but thanks for listening to my vent. [/quote]

OP, either stand up for yourself or get over it.

My mother is you, 20 years from now.  To this day she can go on a long tangent about what certain siblings did or did not take or do.  To this day she still feels entitled to act like the victim because she was the “bigger” person.

Stop doing this to yourself.  Years from now will this be nagging at you while your sister enjoys her heirlooms and conveniently forgets there was ever a conflict?

No, being a pushover does not make you a bigger or better person if you will resent this for the rest of your life.  And please, remember that your children will especially not care about which of your precious tchotchkes Aunt Mabel stole!![/quote]
