[quote=Anonymous][quote][quote]OP: I don't think I like people who look out only for themselves, and it looks to me that my sister falls in this category.[/quote]

You're also only looking out for yourself. How are you somehow less focused on money here than your sister is? You want what you view as your fair share just as much as your sister does, you're just mad you don't have the legal authority to take it.[/quote][quote]

What are you talking about PP?  You are equating wanting to take someone else's inheritance to wanting to receive your own.  This is exactly the type of rationalization that people like OP's sister perform to justify their actions because we "are all the same anyway"...  Also, obviously OP has the legal right, or this post would have no point:

[quote]We discovered in moms papers that she wanted whichever daughter that received one, to be given a sum to purchase a similar quality so each would have two. It meets the criteria for a holographic addendum to her will.

That said OP, unless the diamonds are very pricey, the cost of a lawyer/court would likely swallow any of the value of the diamond.  I would just do a very matter of fact, non-emotional email to both your sister and brother: Please take the coin collection brother, no need to worry about my share.  This does cause me to remember a concern re: the division of Mom's wedding set.  Her will said ___.  That means we need to do ___.  Please let me know when I can get diamonds appraised, etc., sister.

If nothing comes of this, let it go.  You really have no other good options.  Staying angry will hurt you far more than your sister.[/quote]
