[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP:  I had let this go.  What brought it up was my bother's email about the coins, which I had forgotten about, which had been left in a box of other stuff that SIBS didn't want - for four years.  Why out of the blue is he carrying about the coins?  I suspect it was a result of my sister's nagging.  Really, it's just like her, but not like my brother.[/quote]

OP:  again, I have no issue with the coins.  I'm not mad at my brother.  He can have the coins.  I'm not attached to them at all.  They're not sentimental.  I'm just curious why after so much time all of a sudden this comes up.  It never came up before.....  I don't think he even knew about them, since my sister and I cleaned and packed moms house when mom went to be with my sister. My sister knew about them for certain.

To the PP who was asking what $3000 was for :  my mom had  TRICARE and medicare, so she had 100% medical coverage.  My sister itemized expenses that were over $3000, to the point she would send us bills a d receipts for 10 cent copies and 44 cent stamps and gas to take mom to medical appointments.  She was retired, no job conflict.  I had taken care of mom for FIVE years right before then, and I didn't feel the need to charge her, even though it was pretty much 24 hour care that someone had to be with her.  My husband, my two sons, and I worked it out.  My sister has a husband and daughter in town who helped her. My sister lives across the country.

I HAD LET THIS GO UNTIL I started being nagged about the coins.  Now it confuses me.  Why all this interest in splitting the value of the coins which I think is fair and no interest in correcting something which I didn't find as fair?[/quote]

1. You are bitter that your sister was smart enough to ask for reimbursement for her expenses. You said yourself she itemized the expenses so you knew what she was spending so at least you know it wasn't money she was just pocketing.

2. The diamonds - you got one. Let it go.

3. The coin collection - whoever has it, get it appraised, sell it, and split the money. As an asset of the estate, it's the right thing to do and should have already been done. It doesn't really matter that your brother is asking 4 years later.
