[quote=Anonymous]OP, if you want something take it now, not when your mom is gone (assuming your mom is near death).  My good friend had a situation where her sister claimed to "take care of" their mom.  The mom sold her condo, left her hometown friends and moved in with the sister (the mom had bought the sister a house in another state).

Over the years, the sister took everything - the family money  (purposefully set up a bunch of CDs, so the mom could not touch that money without penalty, so the mom left it); plus she charged the mom rent (for living in the house that the mom bought!  Who does that?); plus the sister then opened a life insurance policy that the mother paid for; plus a bunch of gold jewelry that the mom acquired over the years (the mom did not believe in costume jewelry); plus every single family photograph.

This seems like your sister.  Greedy.  Nothing more, nothing less. Greedy people stop at nothing.  In my friend's case, she stopped talking to the sister when the mom died, because they were never that close, and the sister stealing everything just made it worse.  My friend has children that were close to their grandmother, but the sister has no kids, and the sister would rather literally throw the jewelry away than let my friend have one piece for her children.

That is the kind of person you are dealing with.  The only person your sister cares about is herself, that will not change.  Take what you want now, otherwise you will get nothing one the sister steps in.  People like your sister have issues, and trying to control other people is one way their issues come out, because they have so little control in their own life. Sad but true.

Let me guess, your sister is jealous of you, right?  I am guessing yes, and that fuels her selfishness even more.    [/quote]
