[quote=Anonymous]I have to wonder if the OP is a writer sussing out a potential storyline (only thing missing is a convenient murder).

I also agree that there's elements of what we're told that suggests Roy and Mary have grounds for challenging the will. Even if the courts ultimately decide in Larla's favor, there's enough at stake to make it worth for Mary and Roy to resort to litigation.

If this is a true story, then perhaps the best approach is to seek a mediator and settle with Roy and Mary to sell the house and divide the proceeds equally between the three of you. This will  less costly than having to hire a lawyer and run through the inheritance on lawyers' fees. Notwithstanding the peculiar dynamics of Thelma and Mary's relationship, there's also the moral element of cutting out Mary from the most valuable part of the estate (just wondering - was the house / estate primarily due from Mary's father / Thelma's husband's work, if so, would the father have supported Thelma leaving the house to a grand-niece instead of his own children?).
