The Moneyist: Everybody Sucks Here

[jadelennox]

My sister inherited the family home, but not the contents. She set up a ‘garage sale’ — and key items were missing. Should I pursue legal action?

Dear Quentin,

My older sister and I are in the process of being appointed co-executrixes of my parents’ estate through the courts, as their will stated. Dad passed in January 2021. Mom passed in 2019.

For tax reasons, my parents put their home in my sister’s name. After the COVID-safe funeral and while in the process of finding an attorney to handle the estate, I offered my sister assistance to go through the house.

Her response was, “The house is mine” — to which I responded, “Yes, but their possessions are not.” I referenced where in the will this was stated. (I’m glad I read it.)
