If your sibling and you have already split the things in your deceased parent's home can your sibling later decide she wants some of the things back or she will take the money instead?

Answer 1

Wills take some good people and turn them into greedy little creatures. The fight is on! It's a decision between you and the sibling. When a parent dies often one is grieving and everything goes by in a blur and most people aren't thinking straight. If she really wants something that means a lot to her, then why pay for it? Let her have it. Technically there is nothing she can do about it now, but it's simply not worth siblings becoming bitter against each other. How do you think your parents would feel about this one? The both of you should sit down, and try your best to remember what each of you got from the Will. Be mature about it. If your mother left a nice ring to you and not your sister then keep the ring, but if there is a nice piece of furniture that wasn't mentioned in the Will and it has memories for your sister then why not give it to her? You could even trade off. Perhaps there are things you don't want now that your head is clearer, so make a trade. Simply put, you both decided what you wanted and no, she can't force you to give her anything back, unless it was stipulated in the Will as to who got what. Daughters usually get the china, silverware, jewelry and the furniture is usually there for toss up as to whom wants what. Good luck Marcy
