[quote=Anonymous]Not OP, but I think Thelma may have seen some of herself in Larla -  she's got a great work ethic, and maybe Thelma wanted to offer her a hand up in the world.  Thelma sounds like she gave everything she could to help out her daughter Mary succeed, yet Mary still flounders.  So now Mary will finally have to sink or swim.  100K should support her until she can get on her feet.  Thelma probably felt Roy is doing just fine and the extra money or house wouldn't matter so much to him at this point in his life.

The reason Larla should she a lawyer is because she needs to protect herself as she accepts this house.  Mary is still a tenant and has rights as a tenant. Larla doesn't want to do anything unwittingly that would allow Mary to stay longer if she wants her out.  Plus it's also possible that one or both of the siblings can still challenge the will.

The reason people feel for Mary is that she just recently lost her mother, and now she's being kicked out of her home, too.  Just one of those alone is tough enough to get through.

Larla also needs to be carefully consider if this house will be too expensive for her to maintain at this point in her life, as it can be a real setback to her financially if she doesn't have sufficient savings and income.
