[quote=Anonymous]OP, I don't know if this will help or not, but I doubt your aunt ever intended you to have the house, or share in it. Had she wanted it to go to the three of you after your uncle passed, that would have been incredibly easy to arrange - her will could have left the house to the three of you with a life estate to your uncle, which would have endured he could live there for the rest of his life. This is first year law school stuff, so if anlwyer helped with her will, she knew about this option.

I only point this out in the hopes that it might help you feel less "cheated," or help you let go of the idea that your uncle isn't honoring your aunt's wishes. I strongly suspect that your aunt and uncle discussed leaving the house to your sister prior to your aunt's passing. And their decision is justified given what your sister has done for them. Yes, it was her choice, but it was still a sacrifice. And it doesn't mean that your aunt and uncle love you less or appreciate you less, or that you loved them less. It's simply the most logical solution given the situation.[/quote]
